 Good Product September 27, 2007

So far the software has worked very well on my PC. The installation went well and the updates do not take a long time to load. Clean interface, very easy to use. Geared for novices, but with some advanced configurations available if you dig around. Integrates well with windows. Generally quite fast, auto-updates seamlessly. Makes performing a variety of maintenance tasks easy (defrag, clean space, etc).

Used one care for over a year. Problem is that it will consume all of your computers resources when you come out of standby. For example on a laptop that is in stanby and you want to check something quick, maybe a price on Amazon. When you open the lid on the laptop and the machine comes out of standby, one care essentially stops you from opening a browser or doing anything else for a few minutes. No way to stop this behavior, and no way to tell what one care is doing.
Went to PC-cillin, it gives an option to stop what it is doing anytime, so you can avoid the delays caused by one care.
 Depends on your life expectancy September 14, 2007

If you're in your teens or early twenties go ahead and buy because it will have finished scanning for viruses and spyware by the time you hit your forties. I, unfortunately, will not live to see the results of my scan because it has only been running for 6 months and I'm no kid.
 Microsoft Windows Live OneCare subsciption September 5, 2007

I am sure it is as good as the 90 day trial I am doing now from Microsoft.
I am going to run the trial for 60 to 70 days and then install the software I ordered from Amazon which will run my subscription for 12 months into October or November on 2008. I have been very happy of the live OneCare. It may or may no quit as good as Norton but in getting rid of Norton got rid of all other problems that were a lot of trouble from
Norton software.
Works Good - Extremely Slow - Few Quirks September 4, 2007

This refers to v1.6 (downloaded, not purchased retail)
Plus Side: Very simple interface/control configuration - tweakers and geekers will be disappointed. Has some tweakability, like run individual components off schedule of default (like you can run an AV scan daily, backup daily, weekly, etc.) Proactive detect and repair among the best I've seen (for what it can detect).
Minus side: Manual virus scan slower than pondwater. For 60 gigs of files - about 6-7 hours. Backup methodology sucks (backing up specific files or folders - frack that, image the disk, and autodisable System Restore) - I'd pay extra for that. Oh - forgot, I can do that (pay extra) with Vista biz or ultimate.
Neutral side: I'm hoping v2.0 is out soon, with fully selectable backup locations, V64 compatibility, networking wizards, more configuration. I don't surf the "free cracked AutoCad, Adobe, etc" sites so I've not really put it thru its paces tho.
Version 2 of OneCare will add a lot - read the OneCare blog, see where it's headed.
Overall - I'd recommend it easily for anyone who uses MS, surfs with IE and doesn't have any particularly special needs (proactive file sharing, chat, torrent, yada yada). If you're a good little citizen, and maybe peek into the dark side of the net on a rare occasion (or by accident) - OneCare should suffice.
Still, I may end up assembling a package of my own from different vendors (Acronis, DiskKeeper, NOD/Avast/Kaspersky, switch to Mac) that works exactly how I want. Hopefully v2.0 will surprise me tho.
