    Security Alerts

    Windows LIve One Care is telling me to update the virus and spyware
    definitions, but when I try to do so it says a required update could not be
    downloaded to my computer. I don't know what to do to fix this. I have tried
    restarting and it didn't help.

    You should post this to one of the Live OneCare groups.

    RE: Security Alerts

    Sounds like you don't have a fully compatible anti-virus or spyware. You
    might want to see if there is a Vista upgrade to whatever software you are
    running first.

    It is most likely a permissions issue. One thing I would try (if all else
    failed) is to shut down the antivirus or spyware application and right click
    it to select "run as admin". You will need to enter the admin password. FRom
    there I would suspect that you could update the signatures.
    This is not a solution, since you really shouldn't have to do this. Good luck.
