Microsoft's Security Suite, Windows Live OneCare 2.0 is currently FREE at Amazon.com, after rebate. If you're in the market for a security suite, OneCare 2.0 is worth considering. Here's why:
-
It's an all-in-one security suite. So you don't have to install antivirus, firewall, anti-rootkit, and a few other antis separately.
-
It doesn't slow down your computer, as its predecessor OneCare 1.5 used to do.
-
It integrates neatly with Windows Update service, Windows Defender, Windows Firewall etc., so you end up having a single icon in your system tray.
-
It's geared toward novices. If you're ususally at a loss when your security suite pops up a warning, you'll be happy to know that you won't have to deal with too many of those.
-
One subscription works for three computers.
-
It includes a backup program which can back up all three computers to a single location, automatically.
-
You can manage installations on all three computers from a single computer.
-
It manages printer connections on your network.
-
Its billing is managed in the same account management console as Office Live Small Business, as shown in the figure below:
