Windows Live OneCare is a security suite by Microsoft. Most of us don’t use Windows Live OneCare but it has the basic computer security features and more, since the time was launched. Now it has improved PC security features which are really useful. Now it has Anti-Identity theft, easy to configure centralized Data backup, and the most important Virus and spyware blocker. The most notable feature of it all is being able to control 3 PC’s at once.
It’s easy to install Windows Live OneCare. I am installing it on my Windows Vista operating system. I am assuming that the process would be almost same in other versions of Microsoft windows xp and Microsoft windows vista.
After launching the Live OneCare installation process it checks for updates. Then the rest of the setup starts. The first option is to select language and then it provides description of the software suite. Click Next.
After that you are prompted to read and accept the terms of use. And just after accepting those terms of use, the installation will start. It may take more than 10 minutes if you have slow internet connection.
Then it will reboot after loading everything.
Upon returning you will get a welcome screen of sorts. Here you can choose to go with step 1 which will require you to purchase a license ($49.95) or go with the limited trial which is what I have selected. Since this is my first experience with Windows Live OneCare I want to test everything out during the 90 day trial which I feel is the right decision before investing money.
Just after the confirmation, Windows Live OneCare is on a roll and working!
The next settings to pop up you may recall selecting when first installing Vista. OneCare wants to choose the type of network connection the PC is connected to.The Windows Live OneCare control center is where to change settings, run scans, and associate other security tasks.
Windows Live OneCare Settings allow you to configure various aspects of how different protection components work.
One of the schedulable features is a PC tune-up. This will perform typical maintenance tasks like defragmenting the Hard Drive, Scan for Viruses, and check for security updates from Microsoft.
There will be advisories that tell you about Security Updates from Microsoft which are still not installed on your Computer. These provide a brief detailed description of the update and also allow you to connect to the Microsoft website to get even more information.
