Hi punctata,
As you are still within your warranty period I suggest that you contact Support and report the problem.
There have been ongoing issues with Vaio Care and Vaio Update for months and unless Support is made aware of this by all users affected they will deny there is a problem.
EDIT: You could look for an updated version of Vaio Care on the Support site. As you have not given your model I cannot provide a link...
