4 out of 5 stars MicroSoft OneCare   July 6, 2008
I purchased this program due to it being made by Microsoft, I felt since it was a MicroSoft program it shouldn't clash with the MSXP. It also was more reasonably priced than Norton which also seems to slow my pc down just is goes out of date.


5 out of 5 stars Newest and best   July 5, 2008
Windows Live OneCare 2.0 stays unobtrusive requiring the least effort from the user. I installed it on two laptops with no additional cost. I limited backup to documents and never had to bother with it. I got tired of all the charges and reinstalling problems with Norton Symantec, McAfee and Kaspersky. I have not tried Panda.

5 out of 5 stars Windows Live OneCare 2.0   July 4, 2008
Received product in mail in a week after ordering. Received the $30 rebate in about a couple of weeks.

Since I already had Live OneCare installed and running no reinstall was needed. Simply used the product key that came with the package to renew my subscription.

Very easy to use.




4 out of 5 stars Good price - great boot times.   July 3, 2008
So far I've had a great experience with OneCare 2.0. The biggest thing for me was that it didn't hurt the performance of my computer after I installed it. I've tried other anti-virus/firewall software and they have all hurt the performance of my machine especially during boot. It also was very easy to install and configure.

There are a few things I don't like about it. The backup utility only lets you select backing up your machine daily, weekly, every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks. I would like this to be more flexible. Also, I haven't found a way to configure the tune-up process, I really don't want to defrag every time I go through tune-up. Tune-up also doesn't have much flexibility on when it is done, every 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks. Finally, the packaging is horrible.

Overall I've been very happy with it and I think it is great product.




4 out of 5 stars A good product   July 2, 2008
Microsoft OneCare is a good product by a good manufacturer. It's not great but it seems to do the job I need it to do. I think it's a good product for an individual of average or below average technology awareness to help protect them. The impact on resources is fairly low with the exception of the requirement for Windows Update on XP. I have Windows Vista and XP stations in my circle.
