Windows OneCare |

"Johnnie Norsworthy" | Anyone have any opinion on http://WindowsOneCare.com?
I installed it on a test machine and it appears to be doing pretty well. I have three machines here and it looks like a good, inexpensive firewall, virus, and spyware solution. Right now it is around US$20 (only this month), and will eventually be $50/year. I use AVG anti-virus (licensed through November 2007) and ZoneAlarm firewall (free version) on my development machine but I am considering changing to OneCare if it is a good alternative primarily due to the multiple computer licensing and price. -Johnnie |

Chris Holland SEC Solutions Ltd. Team Elevate | Hi Johnnie,
I have been using WindowsOneCare now for about 1 month and it appears to be doing well. I have been running separate virus and spyware scans to make sure that it is not missing anything and so far no problems. I have noticed that occasionally doing something like opening Word there is a delay of about 2 seconds that never happened before I installed OneCare, but nothing that I cant put up with.

I relie on my router. I use Symantec Corp 9.0 for A/V and Spy Sweeper 4.5/5.0 for A/S (Course I'm slightly biased). -AJ Marknette -- |

"Clive" | I do that also..(rely on Router instead of Firewall).
Do you know for sure that its safe to do?.. I have always had a tiny amount of doubt, but not sure why.

Any Windows exploits that a virus can take advantage of, to infect your system over a network *generally* won't succeed. It really comes down to how tightly configured your router is. I'm by no means an expert either. And a router won't stop any apps from dialing out to the internet that I know of. I've never had any issues myself though. I don't even run my AV anymore. I just use it passively when I down files I scan'em first. I do however run SpySweeper in the background and have that do a full seem every night. I haven't run into any spyware in ages(except the occasional tracking cookie). -AJ Marknette |

"Clive" | Pretty much my thoughts also, I do run AVG though, but havent had problems
with spyware yet... fingers crossed. but I dont download stupid stuff like Smily faces and explorer seacrh bars and the like!. Who wants that crap anyway!. Some friends of mine's PC's get so screwed up, its almost a job in itself sorting them out all the time. Anyways, cheers for the info "AJ Marknette" <aj@SPAMNOmarknette.com> wrote in message news:7759284F-AFAE-4426-99DE-43A7404C111E@news.elevatesoft.com... > Clive wrote: > >> I do that also..(rely on Router instead of Firewall). >> >> Do you know for sure that its safe to do?..

"Clive" | Zonealarm never gives me anything but trouble. I do like the outgoing
warnings though.
