OneCare

One Care sucks and you'll soon tire of it once it starts with all the backups.A new CD for every backup,even if there's only about 80 to 100 mgs on a disc,it wants/insists on a new disc.Lots of us can't afford to waste that many discs that more than likey will never be used.
I took that application the very first day it was out,wasn't a paid app then but after 18 discs with hardly anything on them,I deleted the whole thing,tossed the discs--they won't wipe either,even the re-recordables won't work a second time with Onecare.Thumbs down on that one.
1 Care

I haveother security programs that work w/1care that augment the rest on my security and havent had any problems ofany kind. I really like vista, Its fast,eazy to navigate, and many bilt in diagonistics. I have another puter/vista and a third /XPPRO and seldom use it because after vista........XP SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
