I have another antivirus or firewall
program. Can I also install Windows Live OneCare?
No. Before installing Windows Live OneCare, make sure to uninstall
any other antivirus or firewall programs currently on your computer.
OneCare might not run, or it might slow the performance of your
computer, if you install it when other antivirus or firewall
programs are also installed on your computer. During setup, OneCare
checks for common antivirus and firewall programs that are known to
conflict and provides means for you to uninstall them.
I previously downloaded the beta
version of Windows Live OneCare, but did not purchase it. Does the
beta version still work?
Existing beta users will still be able to use the OneCare service
with the latest updates and virus definitions for several months,
but you will eventually need to transfer to the paid subscription
service in order to maintain the service updates.
Why does Windows Live OneCare require
me to have a Windows Live ID?
As a subscription service, OneCare needs a way to identify you and
allow you to access information contained in your account. OneCare
uses your Windows Live ID for this purpose. You can also use your
Windows Live ID as your sign-in for other Windows Live services.
How is Windows Live OneCare different
from Windows Live OneCare safety scanner?
Windows Live OneCare is subscription-based software that, once
installed on your PC, runs continuously in the background and
automatically updates itself. Windows Live OneCare offers
persistent, always-on security features that generally don’t require
any action on your part.
Windows Live OneCare safety scanner is a free Web-based service that
gives you quick, on-demand PC health and security scans to help you
diagnose and solve problems, but it does not proactively protect
your PC against new virus infections.
What is Windows Live?
Windows Live is a set of personal Internet services and software
designed to bring together in one place all of the relationships,
information, and interests people care about most, with more safety
and security features across their PC, devices, and the Web. Windows
Live will offer people like you a set of tools and services to help
keep their computing experience safer, including services like
Windows Live
OneCare. Learn more about
