You're taking a big risk if you don't update, even though your
immediate problems seem to be caused by the AV software.  To view
the bugs which have been fixed, along with new features, start at
the top of this page and follow all the links until you get to your
release number:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/release.html

When you hit a description of any bug which scares you, it's time to
stop reading and schedule the upgrade.

I don't use Windows, but I've heard that they work fine.  Have you
configured the AV software to ignore both sides of the junction
points?
