We also have no intention of leaving XP. We have never gotten any support from M$. We disabled the auto-updates as soon as we install it after several auto-updates caused problems.

We have successfully used Avast ever since AVG started all the popups. We are happy with it. We disable various things that interfere with day to day working - like the popup warning about the same file over and over even though you already accepted the file.

You have to click around to find all the settings. If you get one computer setup, then use it to set up the others by going to each menu one by one. They change the interface with updates so you need to keep all your computers on the same version. About the updates, they have cleaned it up a little now so you are not constantly bothered about paying for whatever.

Regarding McAfee, I saw an interview with him on TV. He said he would never use it after the present owners messed it up and words to that effect.

Regarding Avast

Do you know if it is possible to get the upgrade popups to go away, and still 
have the notifications of updates and alerts still there?
