Where can I play Settlers of Catan for more than 1 hour?

Question

Does anyone know where I can play "Settlers of Catan" online? I've tried the microsoft version, but the free trial only lasts an hour. I don't want to pay for it, but every version I've googled so far has been a dud, or has tried to virus-up my PC!

If anyone has a reliable link or version, that would be fantastic!

I don't think it is possible to get it free for more than an hour.  The only way is to buy the game.
