AOL Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware program... I have a problem, help?!?

Okay so I have AOL's complimentary Safety and Security Center that contains anti-Virus and Spyware protection, but it refuses to update it's definitions. We are still paying members of AOL, like I'm using AOL to connect to the Internet now, so idk what the problem is. But, the program itself has a yellow flag saying that both my virus and spyware definitions are out of date, and to update them, but when I click "Update Definitions" It just says that the definitions are updated, but they're not!! And my Window's keeps saying that it's out of date also and to get new stuff.



So is there any way that I can manually make the definitions update or something? Or do I have to get new protection and buy something from Best Buy?



I tryed Webroot Spyware and I didn't like it, it locked up on my computer for some reason.



So what should I do to fix my AOL one, and if it's unfixable what should I use? What do you guys use/reccomend?
