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 […]

The Windows OneCare Beta I’m participating in just let me know that they’ve added an online photo back-up option to their features.
I’ve activated it on my copy, but waiting to see about using it. I’m not the best about doing back-ups and worrying about my photos is even further on the bottom of that list. […]

I just ran into my first real annoyance with Windows OneCare. I’m working on someone’s computer and troubleshooting a variety of issues. Before I connected her to my wireless network to make sure her operating system is up-to-date, I wanted to get OneCare installed and taken care of for her.

One of the other features I like about the new OneCare Beta 2 is this network identification and protection feature.
When your computer sees/connects to a new network it prompts you to categorize what type of network and what accessibility it has to your own computer.

I received an email last night to download and install the Beta for v2 of Windows Live OneCare. I’ve been very pleased with OneCare, so I jumped at the chance.
I’m still learning and looking around for things that have changed, but the thing that caught my attention right off the bat was the ability […]

I’ve been a very happy user of Windows Live OneCare. I was involved with the product during it’s beta testing and limited release and have been pleased with it as much or more so than I have with any other anti-virus program. The benefit for me though is that it’s anti-spyware, anti-virus, firewall and back-up […]

A recent article in PC Magazine shares the research that Microsoft’s OneCare product finished dead-last in side-by-side comparisons to other anti-virus software.
“We recently learned that AV Comparatives conducted tests on Windows Live OneCare and the service did not pass their testing criteria,” a Microsoft spokesman said. “We are looking closely at the methodology and results […]

I recently signed up for the Microsoft Partner Program. Through my day job, I do lots of development work and support of our clients who are pretty much strong Microsoft software users. Being a member of the MPP I feel is really going to help us stay on top of the latest developments in Microsoft […]

I received an e-mail yesterday from the Microsot OneCare Beta team letting me know the beta program would be ending at the end of February and I would need to uninstall and purchase a full version of the software.
We wanted to give you advance notice that the (v1.5) beta will be coming to a close […]
