 solid product, 2008-07-11
This product is very thorough. It did take a couple runs to completely clear up my system, but it got rid of some nasty things I had tried numerous other ways to get rid of. Overall a solid product.
 So far so good..., 2008-07-10
One could argue that Microsoft should be ashamed to sell a product like this which is only designed to protect you from the very troublesome issues of viruses, spyware and internet attack brought on by flaws in the Microsoft operating systems.
Of course, they might argue that since they know their own flaws better, they can do a better job of protecting you. I can't tell long-term how this product will hold up, but it did install on my XP machine with no problems (other than requiring me to uninstall Adaware). It seems to do what it is supposed to do - protect me without bothering me. It has some nice features - it makes backing up look easy and seems to download updates without needing to go through a process, like Adaware or Spybot. I hope it works out. I like the idea of one-stop shopping for computer protection and with as little interference as possible. This seems to do the job.
Edited on August 28. I have taken this product off my computer. I ended up getting a major Trojan Horse attack and the little green light stayed on the whole time, telling me my system was operating perfectly. Meanwhile I was in big trouble. This product did not detect anything! If it wasn't for Norton Antivirus I'd have been dead.
Very good, 2008-07-09
Norton is overpriced. Macafee slows my computer to a crawl. This software integrates suprisingly well with Windows. I've always been wary of MS products, but I was stunned by the ease of use. Most firewalls I've had are incredibly annoying with their security pop-ups. (mcaffee especially) This program just sits in the background unnoticed. Sometimes I wonder if it's on, but it's running. That's what they should be doing, right? It's $30 cheaper than the competition too. All in all, I think I made a very good choice.

 Nice for Gradama but not for Me, 2008-07-09
It took FOUR DAYS to do a virus scan (yes, I do have 800gb of storage). And it did find a Trojan! Thank goodness. But, it would not tell me which file it was in. No way to get the filename.
I bought it for backup (since they took away the fair but functional backup that came with XP). There is no treeview checklist for backup, no way to exclude or include entire directories. Instead you get to say things like "Financial Files". I have files named .XYZ what does it think those are?
After I courrpted a few files I thought I would try out the restore function. "Enter Filename". Huh? I want to restore a whole subdirectory, and I dont recall the fargin filenames cuz the files are gone now. Again, no treeview checklist for restore. But you can view the list of all files sorted by name. Remember I have 800gb, that was a joy.
This may be nice for grandma, but not for me. Give me back the old "free" backup that came with XP and I'm happy.
Windows One Care is all right, 2008-07-06
It may not be fancy or the best on the market but it works well with the operating system and does not slow my computer down like other products.
The periodic optimizing/backup feature is really nice.
