  Old  Windows OneCare beta :)


The things you should have to help protect your PC, but probably don't because they're such a hassle—stuff like virus scanning, firewall settings, tune-ups, and file backups—all delivered to you in a friendly, easy-to-use package that runs quietly in the background.
Windows are now signing up beta testers for their new software OneCare, which looks to be another anti-virus/firewall product. Has anyone been invited to test this yet?

I got the beta and it seems to have completely screwed up my system. Ever since I installed it I get massive lockups in windows explorer and when I close that down and try to start it up again using task manager (which is what I usually do if explorer crashes), taskmanager has a cry and freezes up itself.

I'm probably gonna have to bloody reformat again

I actually like it, i recent reformatted and tried to install as little as possible and their one care / anti-spyware is great... my computer isn't top of the line and I hardly notice it running, unless it does an update or somethin like that, its very simple and I would rather trust microsoft to degfrag and clean up files automaticly then some guy online with adware stuffed software that just eats up ur computer..
