I have used Windows OneCare since it first came out. It was installed in XP. When I upgraded to Vista Home I reinstalled OneCare and had no trouble. I leave my computer on all night Saturday and it does a complete tune up of my computer. I have never had any trouble with it. I am writing this review because it was announced that OneCare 2 was coming out and I could order it at Amazon. I hope Amazon notifies me when it is available because I will definitely buy it.

I liked the idea of having an all in one security software so I went ahead and installed this product. What a mistake!!!. I had been using AVG antivirus for a while without any problems but I wanted to have the firewall and backup feature. Everything went OK till I tried to shut down the computer, I got a blue screen (and you know what that means) and waited 10 minutes, finally I had to turn it of using the power switch. I rebooted the computer and it worked ok, I tried to do a system restore and guest what, the computer did not restart, yes; the blue screen again. After spending several hours trying to make my computer work normally again I gave up and went to bed at about 6:00am, later that day I had to reinstall windows XP again and lost all my data, lucky for me I had a backup and recovered most of it. Now my computer is working and I switch back to AVG after spending three days and lots of Tylenol for the headaches, so that was my experience with Live Onecare. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!.
