 to BC peter1,QUOTE(Neverwill) get multiple anti virus / firewall software Actually you don't. Having multiple anti-virus or firewalls installed on your PC will cause conflicts that reduce your protection and system stability. The method recommended here at BC is layered protection: Use 1 Anti-Virus program, 1 Firewall and many Anti-Spyware programs, supplemented by occasional online Anti-Virus scans. All of the above can be obtained free - see the BC compendium of recommended Freeware: Recommended Freeware for examples. To come back to the topic of your post I don't have any experience with Microsoft's "one care anti virus (beta)" but others will doubtless have comments. Don't worry about moving your post, a Mod will probably do that soon. hth

QUOTE Just curious if anyone is trying the one care anti virus (beta) from microsoft that is a disaster right now, you will find that it will slow down your system, and connection to the web...it is a good idea however but it really messes with your system. it is a BETA right now so bare that in mind, and it will only remain free for the BETA period, it will be offered to purchase after that, how much?? i do not know but, i had it, kept it for like a day or two and got rid of it. -------------------- |
