Windows Live OneCare 2.0 (Up to 3 Users)

It integrates well with Windows Vista (32 bit). It is virtually transparent. Setup is a breeze.
The re-license is a bit steep though - but it is comparable with the other suites. Seems to me that the re-up should be significantly less that buying the full product off the shelf.

I highly recommend this product.

Have had this product 4 4 months & it only works well half the time; usually it is the back up that freezes up.
Help function is very hard to work with, as are all Microsoft products.

Finding reliable & easy to use software that protects your computer from viruses & other terrible attacks is easy. I've now been using this product 4 six months & feel strongly that it beats Norton or McAfee by a mile.

It was easy to install & does all its work quietly behind the scenes. You are not bombarded with continuous messages questioning if you want your computer to do this or that. But, Windows Live OneCare 2.0 is doing its job.

I highly recommend this product.

Please note - Microsoft has discontinued this product. See the following infoworld article 4 confirmation:

I like this program because it presents no clutter. I've had Norton in the past & it was very intrusive & pesky. It runs through the internet & that is its appeal. Some people don't like it but I believe it is the single most cost effective way to protect your investment. Good stuff.
