 Everyone says this is for the non-technical user, but... July 19, 2008
I see a lot of reviews here that portray this program as a "non-technical" users program, and because of its ease of use its no doubt very fine in that role. Lets not overlook what it offers to us more technical users.
The fact of the matter is, OneCare automates a lot of the nonsense we technical users would be doing ourselves as a matter of course (defraging, backups). Stuff that takes time... time that could be put to more productive use. And really, isn't writing something in Visual Studio a lot more gratifying than saving a few bucks by doing your own backups by hand ?
When I bought my new laptop a couple of months ago, it came with a trial of a competing product: Norton Internet Security 2008. While it offered a lot of similar functionality, I decided to ditch it when the trial was up, mostly because it was such a resource hog. I downloaded the OneCare trial. 2 days later, I bought the retail box from Amazon. What impressed me so much about it?
For one, its much lighter. NIS08 was a terrible resource hog for a background program. OneCare, when its not doing any automated tasks (which you can schedule for a time when you're not likely to need as much processor power) is much less of a drag on performance. This goes back to the theme of saving time: Using OneCare instead of NIS cuts down both load and build times in Visual Studio by a noticeable amount.
So yes... technical users, you can do a lot of this stuff yourself: but why? Do yourselves a favor get a copy of OneCare, forget about all that routine maintenance and get back to doing useful work. You'll save time, you'll save money (OneCare is dramatically cheaper than its competitors), and you'll get things done.
 Pretty Good... July 18, 2008

Not a bad product right here. I guess. Too bad the vine program never mailed it to me. So.....there you go.....
More convenient than the free alternatives July 16, 2008
If you're can't afford $20-$30 for this software, or you want to waste your time researching and finding the latest and greatest free software solutions and you're only managing one computer then this product might not be for you. However, if you value your time and/or have more than 1 computer at home then this is exactly what you need. I've tried solutions from AVG, clamwin, norton, mcafee, AOLs version of the kaspersky labs AV, AVIRA, avast, comodo, blackice defender, zone alarm, panda internet security etc... and OneCare blows them all away when it comes to combined functionality, ease of use, and licensing costs(oh, and it's just as effective as any of those packages.)
Most of the software I mentioned above is free if you only have one machine, after the first install the price jumps to about double what you'd pay for OneCare (more than 5 times what I paid for it on sale) and maintaining/troubleshooting multiple software packages on multiple machines can become a real time waster and who wants to spend their free time fixing computers?
