Also don't Run the onecare in Real Mode protection, it will make your experience abit difficult, but all in all good app to have as free for 90 days and you can renew after.

Guest R. McCarty Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Live OneCare? It's steadily improving, but not to the level of products like NOD32 and Kaspersky. Asking any good/bad - yes/no question here will get all kinds of opposing opinions. For AntiVirus a lot of factors go into a decision. How much are you willing to spend ? If your use of the PC is mostly day-to-day things and you stay off certain types of sites then you might do OK with a Free product such as AVG or Avast.

Guest Mick Murphy Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 RE: Live OneCare? Windows Live One care tries to be everything to everybody. You are better off with seperate applications; which are not bloated. Below is a list of good security programs to protect your computer. http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html Avast Anti-Virus is Vista compatible (32bit and 64bit Versions), FREE, auto-updating, and a low resources user of your computer. And, only have 1(one) Anti-Virus installed / running on your computer at any one time.. Conflicts may occur if you have more than 1(one). http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program. Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it. Then SCAN with it. Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html SpywareBlaster 4.1 is a non-intrusive, FREE Anti-Spyware Program that runs in the background (no scanning by you!). SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of many so-called spyware, adware and malware programs by disabling the CLSIDs of popular spyware ActiveX controls, and also prevents the installation of any of them via a webpage Update it once a fortnight, and let it do its work in the background! http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover! For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from Download.com, or Major Geeks.com Download, install, and update. -- Mad Mike "Paulo" wrote: > Should I use it instead others AntiVirus? > > Is it good ? > > XP Pro SP3 > > >

It's earned the nickname, "No Care". > XP Pro SP3 Get Avast as http://www.avast.com. It's free and much better than No Care. If you want to pay, get Kaspersky. Alias
