- Windows Live OneCare 2.0
- Works as advertized.
Vendor quick to ship.
Slight problem ( not issue, hate that word ) with installation on Windows website.
Works seamlessly.
But the program will not stop reminding me to change a setting after I have made a conscious decision NOT to change a setting. - 2008-10-12, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Not friendly to older programs!
- I tried OneCare's trial version on a new computer we put into our small business network. I had intermittent problems loading and printing across the network through some of our older DOS programs (yes, we still use several old programs because they work great). The puzzling thing was that I could reboot the computer one time, or nine times before the DOS programs would load and print--it was that unpredictable. I disabled OneCare to see if it was causing the problem. The problems persisted, so I assumed it was caused by something else and bought OneCare through Amazon for all our computers. The same problems then occurred with those computers, so I uninstalled OneCare, which solved all our loading and printing problems. I also found that OneCare slows Netscape to a crawl (yeah, I know--it's a dinosaur, but so am I). Microsoft may treat you OK if you use all the latest apps, but apparently they don't even test this product on older software. I switched to Avast, and life is good.

- Best anti virus i ever had
- I have used almost every anti virus program, and i will tell you from my 10 years experiance. that microsoft produc for MS oprating system is best. My system works more faster then even. and the its Firewall, Internet security and virus protection works excelent. On top of it, they let us install same protection upto 3 PC. that cool. Thanks

- Set it and forget it.
- It was fairly easy to set up. It does everything I need. It will shut off Windows defender though. You just set it up and forget about it. You have 3 licenses with each product which is great for multiple computer households or if you take care of your mother's or father's computer as well. It runs without slowing the computer. I have a Windows Vista machine with a core 2 duo (8400) 3ghz.
I do wish they had a way to press a button and block the internet connection from all incoming or outgoing connections. I would rather leave my machine on at night but there is no way to shut the connection down without actually disconnecting the internet cable or shutting off the router. - 2008-10-03, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Absolutely Terrible!
- I had a nightmare trying to get this to install properly. After exhausting every online help possible, I finally had to e-mail technical support since Microsoft has no help available via telephone. I am still waiting for problems to be resolved. It appears that A LOT of people have issues trying to get the firewall installed.
The anti-virus missed a spyware program and a trojan that McAfee had to to find and delete. Do yourself and everyone else a favor by not buying and supporting inferior Microsoft products. Stick to Norton, McAfee, or PC Tools that produce quality products. - 2008-10-01, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
