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 […]
I’m still getting failed updates for these two items. Anyone got any new suggestions for how to get these successfully installed yet?
I’ve turned off my anti-virus, Windows Live OneCare. I’ve turned everything else off I can think of and I still can’t get these two updates to complete successfully.
Maybe I’m too anal about this […]
Lots of articles and posts lately about Microsoft gearing to launch Windows 7 in late 2009. We know that will more than likely end up being 2010, but that’s not the important part.
An article by Mary Jo Foley at All About Microsoft on ZDNet says that Windows 7 and Windows Live are going to be […]
Yep, Microsoft definitely needs to add the ability to setup multiple OneCare Circles under a single Windows Live UserID.

Mainly family members and some client accounts. Then of course there are the three computers in my house that have it installed. It would be four but it […]
I just received an e-mail from Microsoft letting me know that my OneCare account had successfully be renewed. Not sure that it really needed to be as my earlier records stated it was good through 10/2008.
The e-mail they just sent though says it was renewed effective today and is good for one year. I […]
I received the e-mail below on Friday regarding the problems with OneCare saying it’s expired when it clearly hasn’t yet.
To our valued Perpetual BetaTesters;
Due to a temporary glitch with our billing system, a small number of valid OneCare subscriptions were inadvertently marked as canceled. According to our records, your account was one of […]
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 […]
