live one care/security

Hi folks!

Windows xp
IE 7
Dell

I am having a problem today with windows live one care. My winloc and
security shield icons are both red, with this message:

"Your virus and spyware definition files are out-of-date. Your computer may
be at risk...."

I have tried "update now", and get the message "windows live onecare was
unable to update". I have tried restarting, and nothing changes. I turned
my computer off for a while...still nothing.

Help please!

Forgot........... I have been to the microsoft website, and I have NO
high-priority updates.
