    I have just purchased live onecare and i am not able to activate it. It keeps saying finish setting up live onecare and i can't get past there. I do sign in using my winows live ID but it says it's not correct. I have tried making a new windows live ID but that hasen't worked either. I have reinstalled it and it still won't work.  So far this is the most annoying antivirus product i've ever used. Please is there anyone who can help.

    Is your password longer than 8 characters? If so, shorten it at http://account.live.com and try again. Once activated, change it back to whatever you desire. I think you've run into an activation bug with the password length.

    Wow. Thank you so very much. I just shortened my password and it is now working.

    I was able to activate my account now.
