#Michael Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Got my email today :)Okay, n00b MS beta tester question. Where do I submit bugs, suggestions, etc? 586333818[/snapback] Submit bugs to betaplace. All comments/suggestions go on the onecare newsgroups. Anyone can tell me anything about it. Whether you can turn off the antivirus, firewall etc? 586335507[/snapback] Yes you can turn off the firewall. I haven't found a way to turn off the A/V other than actually stopping the onecare service. does anyone know when this beta will be available in the UK? 586335534[/snapback] Right now it is a north america only beta. But it is supposed to be a world wide rollout when it is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison H. Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Well I guess then this is a pretty worthless piece of software if I cant use my avast antivirus. But i guess since I cant use it in x64 yet ill just use vmware and test it out that way and not use avast.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenPirate Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Two trojans blew right past OneCare on my box. I was running trend micro's free online scan just to make sure OneCare was up to snuff...and it's not. Reinstall of NOD32 picked up a few more things, at which point I decided to reinstall XP. I made sure I filled out a feedback email on it. Once they work all the kinks out of OneCare it should be a fine product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eds Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 How large is the install package? Is there a network install package? I am using it on a test machine at work but I wanted to try it out at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Pitman Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 One warning, OneCare can be a bear to uninstall completely. I have a close friend in the beta and he ended up wiping his test machine to get rid of it totally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kainashi Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 i keep getting this when trying to download the setup: Action failed Windows OneCare was unable to complete your request. Please try again later. and when i do get past that part, it says my passport password is wrong. O_o i emailed them about it and they didn't help at all, just said i wasn't in this weeks group of testers, yet i was invited ?_? is it because i'm in group 3? does that mean i have to wait?

Vidar Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I haven't had any problems yet with OneCare -- outside of no remote backup. It'd be nice to backup to another drive/machine instead of just dvd/cd's (from within OneCare that is). I've mailed them my suggestion... we'll see if it hits the left or right side of their trash can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fock neow1n Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Do we have any pricing speculations? I'm thinking 29-39 USD per year. 586316601[/snapback] HAHA, omg that made me laugh. This is Microsoft not some small company. 100+ USD a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenPirate Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 HAHA, omg that made me laugh. This is Microsoft not some small company. 100+ USD a year. 586347441[/snapback] For a consumer target audience? I disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kainashi Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 i'd really like to get started on testing this but i keep getting that error. one on one help with someone from microsoft didn't help. i can't create a password for the newsgroups because it says "password is not a strong password." and my password isn't even that.

All testers should check their email for a message about an upcoming beta tester live chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you ask them if they plan to add a "scan individual files" feature, a way to backup to hard drives, and most importantly if they plan to improve real time protection. Thanks in advance.
