 Live Onecare works.. hard to believe that Microsoft made it. February 12, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I know there are a lot of negative reviews here and I might be a minority but OneCare does really work for me. I am home user and all I need is an antivirus that will keep me safe without bugging me every time I open a program. I have had it for 6 months now and I have no complaints. I subscribed to it once I was happy with the 3 months trial version. I used to have Norton before but I had to switch because it was hogging all the system resources. I have to say that I have had no problems with my computer ever since I installed this. Three licenses for a year at $19.99 is a steal really. I would really recommend it to all the novice computer users who are looking for an Antivirus that takes care of itself and the computer without bugging you.
 Pretty Good but Nags You Often February 10, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've used version 1.0 and found it to work pretty good. I tried Kaspersky for a year but went back to this as Kaspersky kept crashing on my Vista computer, which it didn't do on XP. Another reviewer complained about the $50 price tag but I've seen it for far less in most places and I bought my copy at Amazon for basically free after mail in rebate, plus you can use it on 3 computers. Version 2.0 works as well as the 1.0 version did, though sometimes it can get a bit naggy. For example, if you turn off the Windows firewall because you have one on your router, it will nag you. If you don't back up, or use a different program to back up, it will nag you. If you don't download and install Windows Genuine Advantage, it will nag you. Like another reviewer mentioned, I wish Microsoft would include support for eSATA drives, it takes a long time to back up 750GB worth of data using USB 2.0 or even FireWire. I even tried using a PCIe to eSATA card but that still didn't work.
 OneCare February 9, 2008

I have been using OneCare for over 2 months now and I have not experienced anything negative to report. I even believe my computer runs better after removing Norton 360. You can install this software on 3 computers and it will network those computes as well. We have 3 computers in our house hold, 2 desk top and one laptop. The 2 desktops have printers but the laptop does not. One thing I found handy was that through this program I can now print from my laptop to one of the other computers with printers.
Works For Me February 9, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I must admit that I purchased this product with some trepidation. There were so many negative reviews here and elsewhere I decided to do some personal research on my own. What I found was very positive and I really liked the price. Since installing it and applying most of the automated features I am very pleased. I have been using Windows Live One Care for several months now and it has not let me down once. I operates quietly in the background and performs tasks like backup, disc cleanup and defragmentation on a schedule as advertised. I have had none of the "glitches" I had experienced with Norton and some other internet security software. I highly recommend it.
 Doesn't Play Well With Others February 8, 2008
2 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am very disappointed with the product, with the Microsoft product description on their website, with the [...] product description, and with the packaging.
No where does it state that this product does not play well with others. You can't be perhaps a little paranoid and run this together with another antivirus program. You have to uninstall or disable the other antivirus. You can't pick and choose which features to install -- it's all or nothing.
I am very, very disappointed.
