| Anybody tried Windows Live OneCare? When I got Vista I found out about Windows Live OneCare.
It said it includes everything you need to protect your computer from everything, even phishing.
It has a 90-day free trial, 30 bucks a year after that.
I know their are other free programs out there. I used AVG, spybot, and ad-aware on XP. I just thought it was nice having one program to do it all.
Anyone use this yet? Is their another all in one program that might work better?

| Re: Anybody tried Windows Live OneCare? Windows OneCare is complete garbage! Even Windows Defender is just about useless.
Kaspersky all the way!! |

| Re: Anybody tried Windows Live OneCare? not for me.
For a ful pc scan, it takes house for me. I do have a 250 gb hd though.
I do not use any of windows softwares, such as their defended..it sux. Use kaspersky and
Advance windowscare....really good program, it does optimize your system automatically and cleanns a lot of garbage.l
Its cheaper than the windows thing and its better. |

| Re: Anybody tried Windows Live OneCare? never used it and never will.
go with kaspersky, ccleaner and advance windows care pro or personal. Depending if you wanna but the pro...its better and does way more.
Ccleaner is free and does about the same...it has really good reviws.
Google it. |
