Yes, i know, but i wonder if this is not kinda "monopolistic" tactic to get rid of other anti-virus solutions already present on clients' machines.

Yes, i know it's not good to have 2 antivirus installed and running at the same time, but all installs offer some "Ignore this" button to keep installing at your own risk. Here it is more like "take it or leave it" :pinch:

You have no idea how many IDIOTS would have 4 AV programs on their PC's if they could... this is a good measure, I'm running Vista and i was tired of PcCillin... it's just plain annoying (even more than UAC) so thank god there's now another AV for Vista which i trust

Has anyone else experienced these problems? Anyone figure out a solution?

I had that error also. It took me 12 attempts to finally get it installed. I kept getting an error saying that something required by OneCare didn't install correctly and the computer had to be restarted. Below it, it said "Error Code:" but there was no error code next to it. When it finally did install correctly it seemed like it was working fine.

Then I left and came back a little later and a window had come up saying "OneCare must connect to the internet to complete the installation". So I clicked on Continue and after about 2 minutes of waiting another window came up saying that "No active connection was found. OneCare could not complete the installation". I tried this about 10 times and I finally just said SCREW IT and uninstalled it.

This thing needs major work done.

OneCare itself is an anti-virus and firewall, I bet if you already have OneCare installed Avast will force you to uninstall it to install the same way OneCare asked you to remove Avast.

It does. I forgot to uninstall OneCare before I went and start to re-install Avast again and got a prompt.

The one who says that's just Microsoft being "monopolistic" has never used anything other than one anti-virus app form the sounds of it. It should be common sense to any average PC user that trying to install two anti-virus programs is cause for some issues.

I installed it and it took about 5 minutes and my pc was full of spyware after just reading some newspapers online on the net. I restarted the pc and it reported 4 spyware and trojans. I cleaned the system with onecare and was told to reboot. After reboot I couldn't connect to the internet anymore.

I reinstalled Vista RC2 again and only using windows defender abd Trend Micro AV and everything runs fine now. Guess it's not ready yet the Oncare program.

That's just hilarious, dude get real, there's no way your PC would get infected in just 5 minutes by JUST reading newspapers, If you don't like the product and wish to bash it, do it in a more credible way, on the other hand just to give you a little credit, your PC might had already been infected before installing OneCare and your previous protection software didn't even report anything about it. your networking and internet setup was probably already messed up by the spyware and after it was removed of course it would not work, did you try fixing the connection setup? in any case don't blame the product because it warned you about the infection, that's what's designed for.

I installed OneCare on my XP and I ran the "Tune Up" scan. After the scan, it said that it had found a worm and OneCare stopped it (or trashed it). So, I went to check on one of my mapped networked drives and I couldn't access it anymore. I restarted the computer and it still didn't access it. So, I went and did a system restore to a point where I hadn't installed OneCare and all is now well in my PC world.

...stupid Windows Live OneDon'tCare. lol

It installed fine for me, but kept locking up. A couple of reboots later, everything appeared to be working correctly. It detected one of my IRC scripts as a virus, but I think (hope) it was a false positive since it is an anti spam script. Now it is blocking me out of Remote Desktop even though it was allowed in the firewall previously (in RC2). I am sort of pi**ed off right now.

      What would be the point wasting time, money and resource testing EOL operating systems?

      expected when they force you by having to use TPM and secure boot for anti cheat crap, and lazy developers only test on windows 11.

      The fact I need to use "Show more" like 99% of the time is so annoying. Or why I have 7-zip under 3 submenus when it could be in top. And Microslop keeps saying how they'll improve Start and I've not seen ANY improvement yet. In MONTHS. WTF?! I'll believe any of it when they actually deliver anything.

      LosslessCut 3.69 by Razvan Serea LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Features Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.) Losslessly rearrange the order of video/audio segments Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera) Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file) Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle, attachments and other tracks from one file into separate files) Batch view for fast multi-file workflow Remux into any compatible output format Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format Manual input of cutpoint times Apply a per-file timecode offset (and auto load timecode from file) Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos View technical data about all streams Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes Saves per project cut segments to project file View FFmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line Undo/redo Give labels to cut segments View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV Import segments from: MP4/MKV chapters, Text file, YouTube, CSV, CUE, XML (DaVinci, Final Cut Pro) Video thumbnails and audio waveform Edit file metadata and per-stream metadata Edit per-stream disposition Cut with chapter marks Annotate segments with tags View subtitles Example lossless use cases Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show (and re-format from TS to MP4) Remove audio tracks from a file Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track) Combine audio and video tracks from separate recordings Include an external subtitle into a video Quickly change a H264/H265 MKV video to MOV or MP4 for playback on iPhone Import a list of cut times from other tool as a EDL (edit decision list, CSV) and run these cuts with LosslessCut Export a list of cut times as a CSV EDL and process these in another tool Quickly cut a file by its MP4/MKV chapters Quickly cut a YouTube video by its chapters (or music times from a comment) Change the language of a file's audio/subtitle tracks Attach cover art to videos Change author, title, GPS position, recording time of a video Fix rotation of a video that has the wrong orientation flag set Great for rotating phone videos that come out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video.
