OneCare eases my hacker and spyware cares
So far, so good. I’ve been quite impressed with with Windows Live OneCare, the always-on PC-care service from Microsoft that I downloaded for a free trial a couple weeks ago.
It protects, maintains, and manages my computer about as seamlessly as I could imagine.
Working quietly in the background , OneCare helps inoculate my PC against viruses, spyware, hackers, and other unwanted intruders. And it is pretty all-encompassing, too. Key features allow for multi-PC management to form a sort of circle of protection, printer sharing support, and centralized backup of up to three PCs covered under the same OneCare subscription.
It is extremely easy to use. Three different colors quickly alert you to your computer’s present status: A green icon means your status is Good–everything is running smoothly and your computer is not due for a tune-up or backup. A yellow icon means your status if Fair, which may mean you need to run a tune-up or backup, but nothing is an immediate threat to your system. A red icon means your computer is At Risk, which may mean that an update cannot be made or OneCare is not on.
What I like about it most so far is that I have been able to try it out absolutely free. You can check out what Windows Live Onecare has to offer by downloading your FREE 90-day trial download today.

Well, Glen, I haven’t had any trouble with it. Not interested in canceling because it works great.
