Duration of ownership: 1 Months
Strengths: This program is free at amazon with mail in rebate
Weaknesses:none
Overall Evaluation: see previous reveiw

Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks
Strengths: Easy to use and configure, complete set of security tools
Weaknesses:CPU usage
Overall Evaluation: I downloaded the free trial of One Care to evaluate on my backup computer. It is a Pentium 3 800 mhz with 384 mb of ram, which is within the system requirements for OneCare. The program slowed the computer dramatically and often caused lockups. It took way too much time to load a simple program or go online. When I checked task manager it indicated the OneCare process was routinely using 80-100& of the cpu capability. In addition, running the tune up function took over 24 hours. Once I uninstalled ONe Care the computer operations returned to normal. The program may run better on a more powerful computer, but I was disappointed.

Duration of ownership: 1 Months
Strengths: Great offers from MicroSoft
Weaknesses:Making you have to remove a number of your progarms...like Zone Alarm pro...Norton System Works...Adaware ..etc.
Overall Evaluation: No way...any program that makes you remove others to use it..is TRASH in my book.

Strengths: It does what is promises, automatically and without hassles. Auto backup to an external HD is a peace of cake. 1 click does the work.
Weaknesses:None found yet. No missing mails or whatsoever.
Overall Evaluation: Before you buy you may use it 90 days for free! Buying online and installing it with licenses for 3 PCs is a pleasure. You don't notice it's there until the task-bar icon turns orange to tell you there is some problem. If you use the optimization planner you don't even get that one (the orange colour that is ;-) It's great. Am waiting for a LOC extension that does the same with the PCs optimization .(register cleaning, defragging, temp files cleaning, hard-disk control etc. the whole shebang for which you now need 3 or 4 programs to get it done. Call it the Live One Click Optimizer. In short "LOCO"

Strengths: Easy to install- Very good about prompting users to scan and update- In the year of free beta and the year of a paid subscription, my PC has stayed Virus free. Seems to be integrated nicely with windows and less annoying than Norton. All in all, this has
Weaknesses:Canceling your subscription cannot be done online. You must call 866-663-2273 during normal business hours and cancel by phone.
Overall Evaluation: Nothing is straight forward when it comes to advanced problem solving and the program will nag the heck out of you if you work offline for days at a time.Your subscription is tied to a passport ID. This became annoying a year after I made it trying to remember it.Lastly...$50 is a lot of money per year. They really need to cut that price in half.
