It said to run a live update but that did nothing. It still says expired. I got a confirmation e mail from them. What's going on?

I can't say for sure that this would be the reason, but it is a possibility as I have seen this happening with a friend earlier. When he renewed his subscription, his system date was rolled back (he had rolled it back to 9 months earlier for some reason). About a couple of week or so, he reset the system date (or marked it to synchronize with time.com) and his Anti Virus started showing expired. It took me a while to figure it out... worth checking.

Did you illegally install it? I know I did with mine and it gives me the same problems! I'm not sure how the person who installed it did things, but with mine, it's a hidden file called "KEYGEN" in the My Documents folder. In there, there's a black alien head that I use to renew it. For another virus protection software, try AVG. It's free and you can download it off of download.com.

hi, i recommand you to use firefox.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
firefox can edit which site/popup to block and unblock.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
download firefox for free:

once you first start up the computing device, (once you press the means button) keep pressing f8 whilst it boots up and this would desire to take you to a boot scren that'll enable you start up in risk-free mode, use the admin account in risk-free mode and delete the prog from there. then restart as regular.
