I just accepted an invitation to participate in a new BETA program. As the name would generally imply, it’s a sort of maintenance and error checking program that continuously runs in the background of Windows.
Here’s Microsoft’s own words about the program:
Windows Advisor is an easy-to-use self-help tool that notifies users about problems on their […]
Doing the weekly updates and maintenance of the computers around the office I think I’ve found a computer with a virus or malware.
The problem though is that nothing I’m using to scan both offline and off are finding anything.
When I try to download and install an update for Lavasoft’s AdAware application I’m prompted […]
Yep, Microsoft definitely needs to add the ability to setup multiple OneCare Circles under a single Windows Live UserID.
I’ve just installed Windows OneCare on five computers and they all think they’re part of my own personal circle. WRONG!
If anyone at Microsoft is reading this, someone please get me an answer on how I can setup […]
I’ve come across an dilemma in my use of Windows Live OneCare. You see, I’ve been recommending and installing this software on lots of people’s machines.

It turns out that the issues I experienced yesterday with OneCare telling my my service has expired when I’ve got a number of months left wasn’t an isolated case. I received this comment shortly after posting:
It’s a big microsoft blunder. Thousands of users got the cancelled email, and their account shows as expired, even […]
I ran into a little issue today when I started up my computer. I was immediately notified that my OneCare subscription had expired. I clicked on the information bubble to renew but ran into a little snag first.
Upon looking at my details, it says that my purchase date was 02/13/2007 and I’m scheduled for […]
All of a sudden I’ve started getting this error message in Outlook when I try to click on a link. I’ve looked through all of my settings and options and can’t find where to go to fix it. I’m fairly certain it’s a security setting somewhere.
I do a quick search in Google on […]
You probably wouldn’t be surprised to find out that hackers aren’t too fond of the Vista operating system either. It may surprise you however to understand why:
