Windows Live OneCare is an excellent tool for maintaining the security of your computer. It provides real-time protection from viruses, malware, and other threats, as well as constant feedback on the current status of your system. It also checks the versions of programs, offers maintenance tools, and provides antivirus solutions. The interface is straightforward and easy to use, making it a great choice for any user looking to keep their system safe and secure.
Microsoft's Windows Live OneCare 2.0 is a solid easy to use security protection suite that combines antivirus, anti-spyware, and firewall security features witha first-class PC backup and restore service. The program protects your computer from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, hackers, phishing, and other threats. In OneCare 2.0, Microsoft has added an interesting multiple-PC management feature that ensures that customers don't install OneCare on more than three PCs and also provides customers with a way to manage multiple PCs from a single location which is very useful to to fix other PCs in very limited circumstances. This group of up to 3 PCs in the same network is referred to as circle, in which one or more PCs can be denoted as hub PCs, which are capable of monitoring all of the PCs in the circle. What is new in OneCare 2.0 is that all PCs in your OneCare circle can be optionally configured to backup to a centralized location, typically an external USB hard drive. You also can, of course, optionally configure each PC to backup to different locations, as you could with previous OneCare versions. What is more, OneCare 2.0 now includes the ability to automatically share printers between all of the PCs in a OneCare circle.
