Experience with Windows Live OneCare so far
I won a copy of this not so long ago and thought I'd give it a bit of a whirl. Overall I think it it's actually pretty good and can see how it would help home users.
There have been a few gotchas though which are worth mentioning if you end up supporting it for your customers/relatives/friends.
- My VPN to work totally stopped working. Found out that it locks most networking protocols. With programs OneCare pops up a lot and asks you what you want to do (reminds me of how ZoneAlarm was originally). No such luck with protocols though and I had to resort to "what did I last do" to solve this issue - then I realised it was OneCare
- Tells me that my security is only rated "fair" because I don't do backups. I store all my data on work servers or in the cloud (obligatory buzzword there!) so I don't care
- Turned on IE7 phishing filter and on the 10% of the time I use IE instead of Firefox 3 it runs like a dog. So phishing is now turned off
