The only way to stop the alert is to uninstall the software. If you're not
updating it, it's of no value anyway.

Not updating your virus definitions is penny wise and pound foolish. It's
just a matter of time before your computer becomes infected, and repairing
an unprotected computer will cost much, much more than the cost of updating
your virus definitions, to say nothing of the cost of possibly losing all
your data and the cost of having your private information delivered into the
waiting hands of criminals.

You can't stop the alert, it's just the way things work.

Well, actually, you can stop the Windows Alert, just click on the
Security Settings and tell Windows to stop monitoring it.

With all the new viruses/malware out each day, you really need to renew
your subscription or get a free one that updates frequently.

The only way to remove the alert is to update your subscription.

If you are not updating it, it is useless anyway. You state that you cannot
afford to update right now...however the truth is you cannot afford to *NOT*
update right now.
I would bet money your computer is already infected.

The danger of a virus or worm infection is so great, and the potential
damage can be so great, that it would make economic sense for you to pay
for the new subscription and save money by suspending your ISP account
for a few months instead.

In fact, if you can't run an up-to-date virus checker on your computer,
I would strongly advise you to get off the Internet anyway until you
do. The Internet is a dangerous place for unprotected computers.

(I've had to disable Norton Antivirus temporarily for various reasons,
and every time I did I made sure I was disconnected from all networks
first.)
