    Each time we turn on our (new) computer a message comes up that says we have no virus protection.  I registered our purchase and the firewall is working, but not virus protection.  Thanks very much.

    If the One Care antivirus protection is failing to start try the repair tool - http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsOneCare/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1695761&SiteID=2

    If the One Care icon is green and the Windows Security Center is warning of no installed virus protection see this Microsoft Knowledge Base article to resolve the issue - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944175/en-us

    I think that you need this:

     

    Windows Security Center fix - http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsOneCare/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2469173&SiteID=2

     

    If OneCare is green, yet the Security Center is reporting a problem, that means that the database used by the Windows Security Center is corrupt.

    If you are getting a popup that advises that your PC is unprotected and advises you to click to install a product, your PC is infected and you should contact support per the link above.
