Need to select and install new antivirus

My current subscription to Trend Micro runs out soon. I tried to renew it online, ran into a 19 hour download estimate (I'm on dialup),aborted the operation, and then spent a frustrating time figuring out how to get a credit for the uninstalled product. Trend Micro is not user friendly and has impossible customer support. I sense that their program is good.

I could go to the store and purchase a new Trend Micro and then update it on line. Or I could purchase something else. On "Compare 2009 Antivirus Software" they give ten top rated products. Shield is NO. 1. Are these ratings

on the level? Are there better ratings?

I read somewhere that AVG 8 is bad news and should be avoided, yet I see AVG being recommended on this forum. Confused.

I have Windows XP, a windows firewall that came with the computer, Windows Defender which has never found an object in the years I've had this computer. Is it any good?

Any suggestion appreciated.
