Customer Reviews

Rating: - Don't waste your time installing on an older computer
I thought this would be worth a try since it came included with Qwest DSL service, and reviews here seemed generally positive. It did not work well on my 7-year old system, though. After a couple weeks struggling with it, I finally was able to uninstall it.

First of all, this requires a lot of RAM. My system was doing OK, but getting a bit low on RAM at 384 MB until I installed this. With Windows Live OneCare installed it wanted around 500 MB just to boot up--even while not running ... Read More
Rating: - Totally Worthless Software -Cust No Support comes Standard
I actually bought this product twice and installed it on my desktop, my laptop and my mothers laptop computer.It was seemingly easy to use and I liked the ease of making regular backups to my USB drive.The only problem was the registration:It required an e-mail account with .hotmail or .live.I did not want either of those e-mail addresses, but I created one so that I could register the software.For months and months (over a year), I had no problem scanning and backing up; but when my laptop ...

Rating: - wrong irem no return
Ordered Windows live Onecare 2.0. Received a"service desk edition" Inter net says this should NOT be the hands of a home user. After two weeks of hassle they say they will NOT pay to have it returned and I told them I was cancelling the charge and they can figure how to get it back. Very arrogant people on the phone. Never again.
Rating: - Not really what I hoped for
I purchased this product after a friend suggested it but it does not have a spam filter consequently I reloaded Norton.If you receive as much span as I, you will not want this product.
Rating: - Nicest Security software I've ever used
MS OneCare has to be the nicest, and most UNobtrusive antivirus/antispyware software I've ever used and had on my computers.Unlike most all other similar software, it does not slow down, or interrupt things such as email sending/receiving, and internet surfing. You can be confident that it's doing it's job without being annoyed by constant pop-ups and reminders and questions. It is quite simply (in my opinion) the ideal security software for the Windows operating systems. Another plus is that you ... Read More
