Microsoft's Windows Live OneCare 2.0 is a solid easy to use security protection suite that combines antivirus, anti-spyware, and firewall security features witha first-class PC backup and restore service. The program protects your computer from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, hackers, phishing, and other threats. In OneCare 2.0, Microsoft has added an interesting multiple-PC management feature that ensures that customers don't install OneCare on more than three PCs and also provides customers with a way to manage multiple PCs from a single location which is very useful to to fix other PCs in very limited circumstances. This group of up to 3 PCs in the same network is referred to as circle, in which one or more PCs can be denoted as hub PCs, which are capable of monitoring all of the PCs in the circle. What is new in OneCare 2.0 is that all PCs in your OneCare circle can be optionally configured to backup to a centralized location, typically an external USB hard drive. You also can, of course, optionally configure each PC to backup to different locations, as you could with previous OneCare versions. What is more, OneCare 2.0 now includes the ability to automatically share printers between all of the PCs in a OneCare circle.

Advantages:

Improved antivirus and antispyware Easy to use Cheap

Disadvantages:

You can only have up to three PCs in any given OneCare circle.

I found this program to be an affordable and effective way to keep your computer free of bugs and other slow downs. First off the
affordable price is great ranging around $50 for 3 pcs. That's not a bad price at all. Also the ease of use. This program has a
very useful function called OneCareCircle. This allows you to manage all your pcs running Live OneCare from any PC. Overall this
is a program I would highly recommend giving a try.
