it will be vulnerable, if you don’t have the money than install a free antivirus, like Avast or Avira AntiVir for that time until you get the money to buy a new license for Trend Micro, by the way, uninstall Trend Micro before installing one of those free antiviruses, cause they might conflict

not to worry
You can download free antivirus software from a number of sources. http://free.avg.com is a good one…. Uninstall the Trend Micro software first.
Even if you do nothing, you will still have limited protection. Your installation will detect old viruses, but not the new ones.
You should also consider a firewall. Check out the FREE version of ZoneAlarm at http://www.zonealarm.com/security/en-us/zonealarm-pc-security-free-firewall.htm

Im gunna be honest Trend Micro isn’t what you call the best protection for your computer please take consideration into downloading Avast Antivrus. This program has 2 versions free and not free. They are both just as good as the other and provides all around protection heres the link.

Renew it ! There’s new viruses thought up everyday.My McAfee updates at least once a day 7 days a week.You’ll still have security, it just won’t be safe.

Only single antivirus cannot help u out in tough situations ,
You need a combination of softwares to help protect ur PC .
Here is the combination that I use
Avast antivirus > Malwarebytes > Super Antispyware > Comodo Firewall .
u can use AVG or Avira FREE in place of Avast , thats ur choice
As Far as avast is concerned , u need to register for free , give them ur email address and they will send u a free licence key for avast (i.e. for 1 year ) and u are entitled to use the software for 1 year !
U can get the above on following addresses -
Avast - http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
AVG - http://www.free.avg.com/
Avira - http://www.free-av.com/
Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/
SuperAntispyware - http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html
Comodo Firewall - http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
These apps work in combo to protect ur PC , and provide rock solid protection against viruses ,and all are free !
Good Luck
