Rating: - Takes the effort out of protecting your PC
This is a really handy little program to have installed on your PC, in my opinion. Once you have installed it (which was pretty straightforward) and configured what you want it to do when, it pretty much runs in the background and does all the hard work for you.

It can also be scheduled to back up your data if you have another drive to back ... Read More

Rating: - fairly ok
this windows virus/forewall protector is ok. It;s not in the league as other well known ones which perform to higher standard and have less problems. This can emss up your pc and make everything run pretty slow, but it does the job I guess, but wouldnt be in my top list of similar products.

Rating: - FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST!
Heavens to Betsy! We are free at last!

One tip: The defragger on the Tune Up is a bit weak willed and gives up on heaviy fragmented drives. Do a full defrag with the installed Windows defragger first and then it should run ok.

All in all OneCare ... Read More

Rating: - Not bad at all
OK - I have had this product a month now. I have used a 3rd party firewall for something like 3 years or so now and was pretty happy with it except the PC lagging badly whenever it decided to activate an update or utility during a game - my PC would often freeze for a good while.

I already pay to use extended service MSN hotmail so i already have a billing account with them - this product requires you to register with them via a Windows live account - in my experience they give plenty of notice ... Read More
