 More convenient than the free alternatives July 16, 2008
If you're can't afford $20-$30 for this software, or you want to waste your time researching and finding the latest and greatest free software solutions and you're only managing one computer then this product might not be for you. However, if you value your time and/or have more than 1 computer at home then this is exactly what you need. I've tried solutions from AVG, clamwin, norton, mcafee, AOLs version of the kaspersky labs AV, AVIRA, avast, comodo, blackice defender, zone alarm, panda internet security etc... and OneCare blows them all away when it comes to combined functionality, ease of use, and licensing costs(oh, and it's just as effective as any of those packages.)
Most of the software I mentioned above is free if you only have one machine, after the first install the price jumps to about double what you'd pay for OneCare (more than 5 times what I paid for it on sale) and maintaining/troubleshooting multiple software packages on multiple machines can become a real time waster and who wants to spend their free time fixing computers?

 Makes PC slow July 14, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been using this program for last 6 months. After 6 months of experience with this, I feel there are few things I need to let the readers know:
1) This program makes the PC run dead slow. I run it on Windows Vista Ultimate and it really kills my thinkpad with 2 GB of RAM and 120 GB hard drive with Intel 2.5 GHZ dual core Pentium processor.
2) It insists on having to run its own backup software else it will always stay at "yellow".
3) It kills my VPN connection more often than the earlier Mcafee I used to have.
4) It is incompatible with a lot of my PC software like fingerprint reader and would not let the service run. I always need to manually open ports on the firewall. This is tedious. I dont now why it resets itself.
 Excellent Product for an inexpensive price July 14, 2008

Very user-friendly. Easy to install and keeps up to THREE computers running effectively. I have used this product for two years and have had no virus threats and my computers run smoothly. I use this product for Windows Vista and Windows XP. There are no conflicts with the different operating systems.
