 Goodbye Windows May 20, 2008

This was the last straw when it came to me running Microsoft windows. Windows sucks, and no Anti-Virus software really works. I've used Norton, Macaffee, AVG, One Care, and they are all worthless garbage and do nothing to protect the garbage, unstable, worm hole riddled OS that is Windows. Everyone knows that these worms, viruses etc are being made by the same losers that release these phony Anti-Viruses that don't do anything but slow down Windows even more so than it does all by itself. Do yourself a favour, coming from someone who has used/troubleshooted/crashed/restored/fought with/suffered threw/lost brain cells to windows since 3.1 all the way to Vista, GET A MAC! OS X is so simple and it works. What more of a catch phrase does apple need other than it works and it had no viruses, so no need for wasted money on virus scanners that don't catch s&it. When you see signs advertising "downgrade to XP" Service pack 1 comming soon, service pack 3 available, blue screen of death at Vista launch,more users switching to MAC that should tell you something. You will never see that crap on a MAC, nor will your computer be locked into the bloatware, headaches or unstable world of microsoft raping. Try Leopard OS X and a new MAC and enjoy computing for once.
"FREE" is still too much to pay for this *#@&% software ! May 17, 2008
Caused more problems than it resolved. It (supposedly) uninstalled "Norton System Works" during installation 'to avoid' conflicts, but left Symantec artifacts scattered around my PC and in the registry. My always faithful "iolo System Mechanic" started and ran so slowly that I thought my PC had 'hung'. Plus, had some weird display problems: desktop icons took minutes to be displayed, opening the Control Panel brought up that strange 'flashlight' to search for I never figured out what, etc., etc. Uninstalled OneCare and everything is mostly back to normal, though I'll probably spend several hours trying to figure out why I now get a "Windows-no disk" error message everytime I boot my PC. But, it was FREE!, validating the old 'you get what you pay for' proverb (though in this case I paid the price of hours of frustration).
 Goodbye Norton! Hello Windows Live OneCare! May 17, 2008
This is a great product at a great price [...]. I was able to install it quickly and immediately noticed a difference in performance as compared to Norton. Internet browsing is faster and the automatic tune up is awesome (not everyone has time to defragment their computer on a regular). This product comes with three licenses so that it can be installed on three computers! Highly recommended.
Beware! May 15, 2008

This is a terrible product. I was unable to install it, despite hours on the phone with Microsoft support.
 Not the best, but good for a home/basic user May 15, 2008
The thing that interested me the most in this product was that you could install it on three computers. That is perfect because that is how many computers my home office/game room has.
But there are better products out there.
If the idea was that you only needed one product and this was it, then Microsoft really missed the boat. Virus definitions seem a bit behind Kaspersky and others and the fact that it doesn't block SPAM like other software is a bit alarming.
For basic protection, this might be the way to go. But if your computer habits are beyond the basics then I'd suggest another product.
