OMG, What a long winded and UN-intuitive piece of software. This TOTALLY hosed my network up. I had to do a system restore to get it back. Also is Microsoft in partnership with the Memory manufacturers ? This thing eats memory like it's going out of fashion.

Been using it for a month now and works pretty well. By far the best firewall I have seen..I wish MS enables this firewall in the OS by default.
This uses the same engine as "Morro" and this is as good as any of the big names...

Timeout on a product that should be free of cost. Imagine buying a car and have to buy seatbelts, airbags, good brakes, etc. later on :P

Why is this still being marketed? The product has been scheduled for discontinuation and the antivirus portion is to be made available for free. Who would buy this now? I don't get it.

slow... buggy...

This time around I put the evaluations in the hands of the Windows Secrets staff and they gave OneCare a positive review. That was good enough for me. Maybe it's not stellar, but their review this last time around gave it a lot of positive strokes.

Fantastic piece of software that is both stable and easy to use. I run it both my Mom's and Sister's PC as well as mine. I'm able to monitor their security status. They both enjoy the program, certainly worth the money...best of all it's light and doesn't conflict with other programs, possibly because it's Microsoft made.
The downside is that it doesn't include kitchen sink features, and it only monitors IE7. However the kitchen sink method always creates slowdown and the basic features in Onecare are more than enough for average user. The monitoring of IE7 is also a good thing, because even if you don't use IE7, a lot of programs including spyware do.

It has done all I ask of it using with other programs none of which should be used alone. I have the subscrip for windows onecare which runs out in Feb. for its ease of use and it works well with Advanced WindowsCare Personal Edition
of which i am beta on 3 beta 3.0.0

routinely underperforms in terms of protection, is not highly customizable, uses a subpar defragmentater and the list just goes on and on and on.

Fantastic piece of software.
Doesn't hog resources, runs quietly in the background without interrupting you.
