McAffe Annoying Pop Ups?

Question

I paid 39 bucks for McAffe VirusScan. Still, even though I paid, I get pop ups all the time from "McAffe Security Center." It wants me to subscribe/renew "McAffe Personal Firewall" "McAffe Privacy Service" and all kinds of other stuff. I don't have a million bucks. I can't afford all those extras.

Mcaffe's popups have two buttons, "Continue what I was doing" and "renew/subscribe." I always click "Continue what I was doing." How do I make the dumb pop-ups STOP coming? How can I tell Mcaffe to stop asking me to subscribe to firewall protection?

Thanks in advance for any answers. I always come back to read what everyone has to say. :-)
