Windows Live OneCare (1.5) Beta Available


Recommended Posts

This is very good to use if you are currently using windows vista rc2 as there is no antivirus or firewall available for it. Heck, it might even be better then other antivirus software out there.

dude,

Symantec Antivirus Corporate v10.2.0.199 is fully compatible with Vista, as is eTrust EZ Antivirus (and has been since about Beta 1), AVAST Home/Pro, and Trend Micro...

Symantec: yes

eTrust: not fully

AVAST: yes

Trend: Beta 2 only

i'm debating if i should keep avast or switch to onecare.

Does it disable Windows Defender for anyone else, it does to me in both XP and Vista, previous versions of OneCare worked fine along with Windows Defender, so I wonder if it is a bug.

Lyon I would say it is extremely good, I can only compare it to NOD32 in terms of how nicely it runs, you don't even notice it's there, that's how easy it is resources wise; I'll most likely be buying it and it will be my default protection for Vista and XP. Just in case you didn't know Microsoft allows you to run the program in several computers, the license is valid for more than just one computer, unlike most other solutions where you can only run it in one PC.

Nice to hear!

Actually, I usually get 2-4 email with viruses attached (detected by Avast) in my office's computer (the one I'm using now)..

I'll let you guys know tomorrow morning if OneCare detects these or not :) (I've uninstalled my Avast for this)

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
