There is a review by CNET.

I've been using it for a few months now and to be honest, I really like it. It has everything all in and I don't have to worry about anything. It just does its thing. Plus you can install it on up to 3 computers with one license - which I really like.

I'm Pro-Microsoft on anything, but I really do like this program. You just install it and don't have to worry about anything, which is a very good thing in my book.

Hi ~Yeah, I've signed up to it 2 weeks ago ( the 90 day trial version ) and it's been excellent so far ! A lot bettter then McAfee for sure but am not an expert to compare this with Norton 07.... hopefully over the next few days an expert will enlighten if Live One care is on par or better then NORTON, but to answer your question - in two weeks I've had good service so far.

Answer 3

unlike alot of microsoft products that i am normally quite critical about,this package is quite good
it combines everything you need security wise,and a nice little tune up utility that actually works,i noticed a slight improvement after i ran the tune up
however i used live one-care with windows vista beta so my veiws may not be of any use to you,unless you are upgrading to vista in the future
as for vista i reckon this is the ideal package for vista as it combines everything in one central location,vista dosent like loads of unnessecary software ,its a more compact os
give it a go,you may like it
good luck
