5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and does a lot Mar 2 2008
By Kona TOP 100 REVIEWER
Windows Live OneCare monitors your computer for spyware and viruses and provides a firewall and phishing filter. It conducts weekly "tune-ups" and enables you to back-up your files. It defrags as needed. Installation is very easy; every step was clearly explained so even a novice like me could understand. The system sensed I had Norton and uninstalled it during installation.

On the plus side, I feel confident using a Microsoft product specifically designed to protect Windows. It's easy to tell the status of my computer by the color of the icon at the bottom of my screen - green, yellow, or red. Weekly tune-ups scan my files quickly for dangerous viruses and spyware. Doing a back-up is fairly fast and easy.

On the down side, I get two or three really annoying pop-up messages everyday telling me to click on the icon for updates instead of updating automatically like Norton. Another negative is the price: Its $50.00 annual subscription price is higher than Norton.

It may take a year to decide whether I keep OneCare or go back to Norton/Spybot. So far, so good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great but don't buy it. Dec 12 2008
By Deimos
This is a great product but don't bother buying it because Microsoft has discontinued it and will be replacing it with a free service called Moro in June 09. So save that 50 dollars!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you USE Windows, then buy Windows! Mar 8 2008
By Martin A Hogan TOP 100 REVIEWER
For the last fifteen years, I have used McAfee or Norton for my virus protection. I have received virus's numerous times and had problems with my firewalls being set too high by some clown I hired who was an expert. The worst part was that Norton and McAfee never notified me to update my subscription (they are supposed to). Maybe it was my fault. When I mentioned this to my computer expert nephew his first questions was, "what system was I using?" Microsoft. He advised me to dump Norton and never use McAfee. If I have Windows Vista, doesn't it make sense to use a Windows product?

Since I have installed it, the only problem I had was getting my past username and password correct. It runs MUCH faster than any other software I have had and is simple to install. Uninstalling Norton was harder than installing this. We all seem to have to learn the hard way. Windows Live OneCare works great!
