- Good price - great boot times.
- 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 More reviews
- A good product
- 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. More reviews
- Good, but not great...
- I had originally thought of getting this product for our son who is off to college in the fall. Right now all of our household computers are hooked into Microsoft Windows Home Server OEM so our anti-virus and backups are centrally managed. However, when he leaves for college that won't be an option for him. I wanted something that was easy More reviews
- set it and forget it
- Have used this program since it was in its beta stage. Don't have to worry about defraging, backing up or virus protection, plus live support is good. But ---Amazon.com is the only place to buy it. Much cheaper than renewing through Microsoft each year. More reviews
- OneCare Backup Really Works
- I have been using OneCare since it came out over a year ago. I had been using Norton/Symmantec products before that. OneCare seems to run much more effieciently. When it does its scheduled virus definition updates, virus scans, defrag, file cleanup, etc, you don't notice the huge performance drop like with Norton. And the backups take More reviews
