 Thumbs up by a true tech!, 2008-04-15
Works silently and in unison with Vista once configured. If it's Windows you're trying to protect what better means than a Microsoft product.

Better than Norton?, 2008-04-13
I was a long term Norton user and with Vista on all my computers it just didn't work out anymore. Mail was slow, System Restor didn't work, etc... I tested OneCare 2 first through VirtualPC for about two months. No matter what I tried to get system infected, OnceCare took care of the problem... I'm running OneCare on all my computers for the last month and so far no problems. I don't know where is this product getting so many bad reviews? It serves the purpose, it is not a resource hog and you can get a real deal on Amazon (you don't have to extend it on-line if don't want to do so). I had to call tech support (wanted to know if you can have it on 4 computers) and it took 4 minutes to speak to a real person.
So yes, my opinion is that this product is far better than Norton 360 (or Internet Security). Giving it 4 stars just because I would like to have a bit more options to "play" with.

 Warning, 2008-04-12
Unfortunately Microsoft, in typical anti-competitive behavior, has made sure that you cannot use other vendors products once you install OneCare Live, without constant warnings. They believe that using other scanners (not in real time) to find additional problems should never be allowed. If you install this you will be warned if you use Ad-Aware or SpyBot SD, both of which are free products. OneCare Live is known to not catch a number of infections, so occasionally scanning with another product is advisable. You should never run more than one scanner product in real-time, however, manually scanning with more than one is advisable. Microsoft once again is trying to irradiate competitors instead of focusing on the viruses and spyware on your computer. You would have think they would have learned something from the IE lawsuits.

 A few bugs to work out, but okay., 2008-04-11
I had a hard time installing this software. I had to delete the program that was previously installed on my computer (McAfee) before I could install this one BUT I didn't find that out until AFTER I had downloaded the software (which took almost five hours). Then it automatically deleted itself (the downloaded software) when it couldn't install because of the other program. Ughh!
Needless to say, I had to re-download the software (another five hours)and then I ran into another snafu when I went to install the download. I couldn't immediately resolve the problem and the website was no help either.
After trying every trick in the book, I finally realized there was a little nugget left from the McAfee program. After I deleted that, it installed successfully.
I am no computer geek so getting this installed was a real chore. It seems to work fine now that it's up and running.
