ive been on the one care beta for quite some time. i hate it. microsoft should leave security programs to the experts, i.e. Symantec, etc.

Brain > AV.
End of argument.
(to stay on topic, i think almost all AV's are lame =p)

I had problems that nocked out Norton but Onecare took care of them. Another thing is Norton slows down your computer... Onecare is much faster. Now AVG is also a good AV too

I actually agree with williamwaterboy .. Norton just slows computers down. I had it for 2 days and it was a pain with all the lag and the slowness on my computer.
After I installed OneCare, my computer hasn't been lagy at all and I think OneCare is a very good AV, firewall and AS all in one.

That is another thing... that Lt.Col.DraGon pointed out it's not just an AV but a firewall and AS too... And yes it's way faster then Norton. And it totaly blows away Symantec Norton Internet Security. AVG by grisoft is also faster but I don't think it has a firewall or AS. Symantec and Windows have had problems for years. Something made by Microsoft should and in this case dose fit in with their OS better then something that isn't.

I have to agree with GiantSpider here.
I have had NAV since 2003 and I have never experienced any lag whatsoever.
On the contrary, Windows OneCare Live does lag on my system, not to mention when I did the scanning thingy (I forgot what it is called).

I have been using onecare for some time now, but it's annoying the heck out of me. It's also not easy to turn it OFF with just one click and I do not like that one bit. As soon as beta ends, I will go back to AVG free combined with ZA free firewall. This has always worked wonderful on my insanely slow system.

yeah tbh i might just un-install all my antivirus and anti spyware, just keep zonealarm running, they never pick up anything ever 
i suppose spywareblaster or the immunize feature of some AS's are cool because it blocks them from installing in the first place, which is all that most dumb pc users need anyway

Now I can't comment on how much faster it is than Nortan, as I am a McAfee user but using OneCare as your only AV & Firewall is a sure fire way to get a virus.
RE: Windows live onecare by Chris4 on 04-10-2006 at 11:59 PM
Just thought I'd say.. Windows Live OneCare also slowed down my system and didn't find things like viruses that my free Anti-virus (AVG) did find. So they are going to have to improve quite a bit if they want to charge people for it. I stopped using it a while back.
So thumbs down from me

True
It sucks big time for me ..... never does anything anyway 
(According to the amount of resources it demands .... its pretty useless imo 
)
RE: Windows live onecare by Eddie on 04-11-2006 at 08:15 AM
OneCare is pathetic 
It blocks stuff like MSN Messenger until you tell it not to 
Im gonna stick to Ad-Aware and AVG For Now
RE: Windows live onecare by GiantSpider on 04-11-2006 at 06:48 PM
Getting on to AVG, when I used to use it it once told me that the sponsor uninstallation program was a trojan horse. You want to hope for your sake it got better.
