Can you pay for it? It will help development.
But if you can't pay, don't worry, we can suggest free alternatives.

Of course I understand you.
Try a freeware firewall. In my personal opinion, in this order:

Comodo
Online Armour
Outpost Firewall Free

Comodo does have an antivirus in it, but you need to disable it.

Here is the link for Online Armor Free: http://www.online-armor.com/products-online-armor-free.php.  When installing, any initial pop-ups you get that pertain to Avast, click on "Trust Always" and "Remember My Decision." 

If you have any questions about it, let me know.  It is easy to use and won't give you constant pop-ups.  The new version is even easier to use now.  Just follow the directions on the screen exactly as it tells you.

i just checked on google as u said.

i got answer.

"No, don't turn off the firewall to install, but once installed, turn off your windows firewall and have Norton firewall running. Having both or more will conflict. And another thing, if a firewall is blocking anything, not allowing a legit program through, or you can't play a game, please configure the firewall to allow permissions, never ever turn it off as many do."

look Krypton, I suggest you come back here when you have acquired a regular version of Windows, acquired with money...

1 I suggest that no one here would try to help you anymore
2 it's a dead end anyway since pirated OS, as soon as detected, don't get updated and your system will always be infected anyway.
3 you don't mind stealing the product, that's your problem, but don't ask for help here.

edit: to the others, that's my position, now feel free to do what you want with krypton. I think he should be banned.

Well, it is policy on ( most, if not all ) malware removal forums, that they don't help people with pirated/cracked software. But I don't know what is the policy here :-\
