 Windows Live OneCare November 4, 2007
I have used this product for three years and am very pleased with the results. Microsoft Windows Live OneCare 1.5 Online PC Care Subscription [12 Months]
So far, so good November 2, 2007
I originally used McAfee on my Vista-equipped laptop. After many software and stability problems and an eventual hard drive reformat, a review of various message boards suggested that Vista stability issues were often related to overzealous anti-virus software. I installed the free trial version of Windows Live OneCare, assuming it was more likely compatible with Vista since it was also a Windows product. So far it works well and is less intrusive than the McAfee product. The hard drive scans and update downloads do not interfere with normal operations or slow the system as McAfee did. And the auto-backup works seamlessly as well.
I don't normally recommend Microsoft products, but this one works well and is a good value. It is less expensive that other alternatives, only $50 for a one year 3-user license. However, you can usually find it advertised for $10-$20 at the major electronics or office supply chains. Try the free 90-day trial at the Microsoft Live OneCare website.
 Warning: Your computer will crash after installing this product!!! November 1, 2007
I liked the idea of having an all in one security software so I went ahead and installed this product. What a mistake!!!. I had been using AVG antivirus for a while without any problems but I wanted to have the firewall and backup feature. Everything went OK till I tried to shut down the computer, I got a blue screen (and you know what that means) and waited 10 minutes, finally I had to turn it of using the power switch. I rebooted the computer and it worked ok, I tried to do a system restore and guest what, the computer did not restart, yes; the blue screen again. After spending several hours trying to make my computer work normally again I gave up and went to bed at about 6:00am, later that day I had to reinstall windows XP again and lost all my data, lucky for me I had a backup and recovered most of it. Now my computer is working and I switch back to AVG after spending three days and lots of Tylenol for the headaches, so that was my experience with Live Onecare. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!.

 Live OneCare Just Ok September 30, 2007

Microsoft's LiveOneCare (LOC) seems to be a good solution for "all-in-one" protection. I switched to this service after experiencing feature bloat and general slowdown from other anti-virus/anti-spyware suites. It runs pretty much in the background, staying out of the way of other applications. Just make sure to schedule the "tune-ups" away from the time you need to do other things. The virus scan is pretty slow - effective -?? can't really tell, but my machine seems to be malware free at this point. The software is still a little rough around the edges in places. There are very few parameters that can be adjusted to personal preferences and some of the report results are a bit obscure. I like too much information rather than "sparing me the details." LOC has pretty decent support from a users forum on-line but not much help from Microsoft itself. A couple of bad update patches caused grief for a number of users during mid-2007 but those seem to be resolved now. Overall - not bad - I am staying with LOC and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
As a nit-pick - I don't like Microsoft's new software packaging. It is a hard plastic box that presents an interesting challenge to open the first time it is encountered. Much too big for a single disk - hard to store. Hopefully recyclable material :)
