Can I use it in a business setting. The first time I read about it, it's
free for use in both home and business settings.

Thank you for your interest in Active Virus Shield! This is a binding

are materially different from the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, then you are not authorized to use the Software and you agree
to remove it from your computer.

Abso-frickin'-lutely. You can use the license anywhere that wish ---
home, work (yes, work), airplane, city bus, city park, saloon, brothel,
etc., etc., etc.. As long as it is used on your (the licensee's)
Personal Computer.

You absolutely, positively _cannot_ use the license to activate AVS on
_any_ computer used for commercial purposes. Period.

Personal Use is not synonymous with Home Use, it is antithetical to
Commercial Use. For more info, Google for the legal sites associated
with TOSs and EULAs.
