Summary: 5 Stars
After trying a few antivirus products, I found that none integrate with the windows operating system better that this one (Obviously, because they created the OS also). It does everything you need it to do and it does it well. I have 3 computers using it and I can check the status of all 3 from my laptop. Great product overall, I'm happy with it.

Customer Review: Microsoft is terminating Live OneCare
Summary: 2 Stars
I was about to purchase OneCare to renew my subscription when I found out accidentally that Microsoft would be terminating Live OneCare come June 2009. The news was shocking and it actually made me angry because I have invested a significant amount of time installing it on various computers and learning how to use its functionality. In place of OneCare, Microsoft will be introducing a free antivirus called Morro. When I spoke with the call center people in the Philippines who service the OneCare account, they assured me that I can proceed with the purchase as support will still be offered. Having tried and tested the `support' Microsoft offers for OneCare, I have to say that it really is not a selling point. The announcement to pull out of the antivirus market was made in November 2008 and the forum that Microsoft ran to take care of OneCare issues was taken down in December 2008.
It infuriates me that Microsoft did not think it necessary to tell its customers that the software they are relying on will no longer be made available and users whose license runs out after June 2009 will simply be bludgeoned with the news that they can no longer renew. Since Morro is not slated to be released until early 2010, this leaves a lot of people who trusted Microsoft in a limbo.
I do not have a problem with OneCare, and would actually have happily used it if Microsoft made it available, but I do have an issue with how Microsoft is treating its paying customers over its decision to withdraw from the antivirus market. We are the people who allowed Microsoft to recover their development costs and we deserve to be treated with more respect!
Customer Review: Microsoft One Care
Summary: 4 Stars
I installed this about 3 weeks ago. Nice easy install. Much faster than the Norton Systemworks it replaces - and much less obtrusive. I downloaded a beta of IE 8 at the same time so I'm not sure what caused it, but my web page load speeds have increased a lot. I think it's mostly One Care. Everything else seems fairly transparent - a good thing. Another nice thing is that if you have multiple PC's in the house, you can monitor the health of all of them from the PC you select s a hub. Bad thing is that it wants to run a full system scan - including defragmenting of all drives - no less frequently then once a month. I'd guess a few hours is needed for this operation.
All things considered, this is better than Norton by quite a bit.
