Automatic Health Monitoring and Tune-Ups
Live OneCare continually monitors your computer's health. The Live OneCare health meter gives you a clear, continuous indication of your computer's level of protection and performance. If OneCare detects anything that you can do to improve your computer's health, the service automatically shows you what action to take and gives you a one-click solution.

An automated tune-up function keeps your computer's performance optimized by performing several necessary tasks. Not only does Live One Care automatically scan your computer for viruses -- giving you the ultimate peace of mind -- it also automatically defragments your hard disk to help improve computer efficiency; removes unnecessary files from your computer to increase available hard disk space; checks for changes to your important files as well as new files, then sends you a reminder when it's time to run a back-up; and automatically backs up your files for you if you use an external hard disk.

Continual updates provide you with the latest technology from Microsoft Update to help ensure that your computer is up-to-date with the latest critical security updates from Microsoft. Live OneCare works automatically in the background so that you aren't forced to make sudden, repetitive decisions. For example, the firewall policy is regularly updated to keep ahead of hackers and make sure that your legitimate programs have the Internet access they need, so you don't need to decide which programs to allow or disallow. But if you're worried about a new virus or other threat, you also have the option of checking for updates yourself with a single click.

Better Protection for Small Businesses
Windows Live OneCare helps to protect and maintain work computers, making the managing of workstations easier than ever, thereby giving you more time to deal with the other demands of running your business. Comprehensive, integrated protection for your company's computers includes antivirus, antispyware and firewall features to help protect your computers from viruses, spyware, worms, Trojan horses, hackers, and other threats. The trustworthy "Backup and Restore" feature can automatically back-up your important company files, including most accounting files. And with the software's continual updates, your workstations will always have the latest technology you need, including the latest critical security updates from Microsoft.

With a click of the mouse, your employees can directly scan individual files and folders for viruses, and they can even check attachments that you receive through MSN Messenger for viruses or worms. Live OneCare Backup allows you to copy your important files and settings to CDs, DVDs, or to an external hard disk, while regular back-ups can help you protect your important data from loss due to accidental deletion, viruses, or hardware or software failure. If your team relies on an external hard disk, you can configure Windows Live OneCare to perform an automatic back-up of your important data as part of your regular tune-up. Live OneCare also gives you unlimited free support by phone, online chat, or e-mail for any issues with your subscription.

windows live one care, December 16, 2008
By R. Stan Soth (On The Road)
An excellent price for the best protection program i;ve ever had. Fourth year, now, and no complaints.



Works the best of any antivirus so far, September 22, 2007
By Kurt J. Strachanowski
It was easy to install and use- one thing I really like is the backup utility. Haven't had any issues with it like I have with Norton or McAfee.
Also, if you need help with it, you can actually call and get help- the others you can only email and wait.

Windows Live OneCare thoughts, May 9, 2007
By mcmurtry (Houston, Texas)
I have three computers at home and I switched to Windows Live OneCare on all three about 2 months ago. I thought it was very easy to install and setup. I have had NO problems whatsoever since. I like that it runs a "tune-up" every so often and gives me a report on the results. My oldest computer (almost 5 years old) hasn't run this well since it was new. I am no Microsoft fan but I can give credit where credit is due. I like this product very much so far.



I wish I wouldn't had bought this, March 18, 2007
By M. King
It took half a day to install, then the other half the day was spent installing missing updates. After I got through all that, it wants you to go online and activate your subscription to Live OneCare. I've had problems doing this and still haven't gotton it done. And the help button that's on the Live OneCare....doesn't help with anything.
