4 out of 5 stars Switch from Norton to MS   July 20, 2008
If you are looking for a product to overcome Norton's resource-heavy NAV, this will work for you as an all-in-one solution. We have a 2.8GHz hyper-threading PC with 1.5GB of RAM. No issues. Simple installation. 'nuff said!


5 out of 5 stars Simple, reliable, cheap protection   July 20, 2008
OneCare is an all in one protection suite that effectively works with my PC. I find this product, coupled with Windows Vista, one of the most secure combinations in the market nowadays.
OneCare will hardly bother you at all with messages of any kind, unless strictly needed. Evenmore, it works in the background without you even noticing it and without overloading the CPU, like typical security suites from Norton or McAfee.
Two big thums up!



5 out of 5 stars Everyone says this is for the non-technical user, but...   July 19, 2008
I see a lot of reviews here that portray this program as a "non-technical" users program, and because of its ease of use its no doubt very fine in that role. Lets not overlook what it offers to us more technical users.

The fact of the matter is, OneCare automates a lot of the nonsense we technical users would be doing ourselves as a matter of course (defraging, backups). Stuff that takes time... time that could be put to more productive use. And really, isn't writing something in Visual Studio a lot more gratifying than saving a few bucks by doing your own backups by hand ?

When I bought my new laptop a couple of months ago, it came with a trial of a competing product: Norton Internet Security 2008. While it offered a lot of similar functionality, I decided to ditch it when the trial was up, mostly because it was such a resource hog. I downloaded the OneCare trial. 2 days later, I bought the retail box from Amazon. What impressed me so much about it?

For one, its much lighter. NIS08 was a terrible resource hog for a background program. OneCare, when its not doing any automated tasks (which you can schedule for a time when you're not likely to need as much processor power) is much less of a drag on performance. This goes back to the theme of saving time: Using OneCare instead of NIS cuts down both load and build times in Visual Studio by a noticeable amount.

So yes... technical users, you can do a lot of this stuff yourself: but why? Do yourselves a favor get a copy of OneCare, forget about all that routine maintenance and get back to doing useful work. You'll save time, you'll save money (OneCare is dramatically cheaper than its competitors), and you'll get things done.



5 out of 5 stars windows live one care   July 19, 2008
great product..much more effective than the previous virus protection i had been using...panda & BitDefender...this thing seems catch and get rid of everything! And it doesn't seem to slow down my PC either. it also makes syncing your PC's together a snap. i have kids that constantly download all kinds of crap, and if it contains trojans and viruses it can be a pain...But Live one care seems to be the peace of mind I was looking for to prevent constant cleaning off the hard drive and starting from scrach.
