Ash-howe380,
Thank you for contacting the Live OneCare program forum. When you get a yellow, orange, or red alert status, there is normally an informational bubble in the bottom right-hand corner on the taskbar. The icon looks like a red cirle with a 1 for OneCare on it. If you could, please post back with the error or dialog message you are receiving, unless this was indeed an "Activation" situation as JimR indicated.
Thank you for visiting the Live OneCare program forum.
