Default AC revs up and down without reason

Hi all,
Just bought this beautiful 2005 Volvo XC90, V8, 175'000 miles from my neighbor. She runs great except that while driving yesterday evening, I noticed the AC acting weird and reving up and down without apparent reason. I suspect the outside and/or inside temperature sensor going bad. Maybe the blower? PO changed it awhile ago. Opinions? Suggestions?

Also,
I have the infamous "Alarm System Service Required" popping up on my display every time I start the car. Have read a thread in this forum about replacing the siren to fix the problem, but as another member of the forum suggested, this may need a software upgrade/update from dealership that costs $$$. Without this software update, the car may experience catastrophic failure.

Also,
I also noticed that the message "Anti-skid temporarily deactivated", randomly pops up on my display.

Are all of the above related to this software update? Any suggestions? Fixes?
Thanks
