Critics asserting that Windows Live OneCare didn't succeed on its own have got it wrong, according to Microsoft's chief security advisor for the EMEA region. Roger Halbheer, in a blog posting on Monday, said it was "nonsense" for anyone to suggest that Microsoft's consumer antimalware security solution had somehow "failed."
Last month, Microsoft announced that it planned to discontinue OneCare while simultaneously saying it would offer a free anti malware solution code-named "Morro." OneCare is priced at $49.95 per year, but Halbheer noted that many people just cannot afford the extra amount, especially in newer and arguably poorer markets.
In the wake of Microsoft's announcement about the core anti malware solution, code-named "Morro", there has been some misleading and inaccurate information about OneCare's quality, performance, and overall level of protection. The facts about Onecare reassures the truth of the matter.
the link in the middle are broke
it should be [url]
it is not image it is a link
Then why does it have [ img ] and [ / img ] at either end? Those are use to help display images.
so do we fall back to ol windows firewall when Morro's out?
what about the scheduled defrags and backed up files?
It's got quite a few of features that I like.
Then why say that they should not have anti-malware, when it is really quite apparent that most infections are from a user doing something stupid and installing a super "system optimizer" that appeared on a web pop-up?
(plus Morro will be free, will it not? so there goes your "paying them to fix their product" line of reasoning)
Have you ever used anything else than Norton and MacAfee to say OneCare is the best ?
I must admit i did not try OneCare. I use BitDefender and i highly doubt OneCare uses less ressources than Bitdefender. And since Bitdefender is less expensive and very good at detecting virus. Don't say Onecare is not as good. Just say that before calling Onecare the best you should try all of them. It's not because it's made by Microsoft that it is automatically the best. There's other players around that do very good product. Bitdefender is one of them.
i agree, it was made for the ipod generation, simple to use, less effort required to do anything and it worked well
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Why is the way I do things silly? Because they are different from you? And did I say anything about a monopoly?
Some people....
"OMG I love the idea that Microsoft fails! I worship Steve Jobs!"
People would still find a way to avoid it. Whether it's the scroll the article to the bottom before being able to reply, a 2 minute delay timer, or simply a little ball that bounces across the words trying to get peoples attention and follow the article. (though, doesn't sound like a bad idea lol!)
Also, I used NOD32...no resource use at all
