OneCare helps keep your PC safe and secure while making your life easier. From virus scanning, file backups, to automatic printing sharing of all the PCs in your household, OneCare helps manage it all for you. And it's delivered to you in a smooth, hassle-free package.
In one convenient package, Windows Live OneCare helps protect your computer, uses its optimization features to keep your PC running at its speediest, and even regularly backs up your important files: Protection Plus uses antivirus and antispyware scanners, a managed two-way firewall, and integrated anti-phishing technology to protect your computer from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, hackers, phishing, and other threats. It runs continuously, but you can scan individual files and folders for viruses on demand simply by right-clicking them. You can even scan attachments you receive via Windows Live Messenger or MSN Messenger.
Performance Plus regularly defragments your hard disk, removes any unnecessary files that may clog your computer, and helps ensure important security updates from Microsoft are installed efficiently and on time.
Backup and Restore regularly copies your important files and settings to CD, DVD, external hard disk, network drive, or other data-storage device. Instant Help provides online help anytime you need it, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

Customer Rating:
Summary: Beware!
Comment: This is a terrible product. I was unable to install it, despite hours on the phone with Microsoft support.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not the best, but good for a home/basic user
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great Amazon Product and deal!
Comment: A great Amazon product and a fantastic malware suite by Microsoft. Great deal, great dealer with a great product.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This is from Microsoft?
Comment: Over the years, I've gotten used to Microsoft tedium - their packaging, their activation policies, their security, etc.
I've used Norton 360 and Trend Micro's PC-Illin. Each is quite good and can be installed on up to three PCs, too. OneCare is better at network monitoring, drive defragging, printer sharing, and common backup - and getting better at virus identification.
Microsoft is about to release version 2.5. Presumably, users can update automatically online.
This is a superb product, Microsoft.

Summary: Really Bad
Comment: I purchased this with high expectations and it turned bad real quick, stay away from especially if you use a dial-up connection. It took over an hour to install and then a couple hours more downloading updates and after 2 weeks it quit downloading any updates and keeps warning me that my system is at risk because I didn't have the latest up dates. When I click on update it start searching for updates but never gets them even when I waited an hour. Microsoft suggested re-installing, I may be retired but I have better things to do with my time.Windows Live OneCare 2.0
