| 698794 | 2008-08-20 00:37:00 | Just a note for anyone who might be considering it - DON'T! It simply doesn't work. And it breaks so easily, you can't uninstall it half the time, I have had 3 now in the last few days, no end of issues, viruses, spyware, freezing, all with OneCrap installed. And I couldn't uninstall it and re-install it to fix the issues with it, had to manually rip it out. It takes longer than Nortons to scan, and still doesn't find anything at the end of it. It's absolutley hopeless. :groan: Microsoft have really outdone themselves this time. |

| 698795 | 2008-08-20 00:57:00 | Also similar to Norton is the fact they have also had to make a cleanup tool for windows Live OneCare removal. (download.microsoft.com) Did you try that mate? |

| 698796 | 2008-08-20 00:57:00 | :D :D :D :D :D You're a legend. Being a MS product, I didn't actually think to search for a removal tool. That's just what I need, will be great for next time. |

It might be slow and crappy but I've used it since 2002 (though ditched it last year in favour of AntiVir) and never had problems like that That's really bad. Like the guy says, All the products (OE, Windows and OneCare) are designed by Microsoft. If they can't get their own programs to work together then they're idiots |

| 698803 | 2008-08-20 04:57:00 | Crap, basically. I used the beta and final versions of Defender - I was NOT impressed. It's the equivalent of Norton making a really lousy word processor... :D |
