Windows Live OneCare 2.5 will now available in 3 new markets: Brazil, India and Hong Kong. Another change which Windows Live OneCare 2.5 has brought about is that if you are using the Online Photo Backup feature in Windows Live OneCare, you will notice that the online storage capacity has been increased from 10GB to 50GB. . .

While we don't usually do these kind of late-night TV infomercials, this one should be of interest to a few of you.

As you may have read, the Beta release of Windows Live OneCare 2.5 is now available on Microsoft Connect for folks to start testing. I of course went ahead and installed Windows Live OneCare 2.5 to give it a spin myself. So what's new with Windows Live OneCare 2.5? After installing the Beta myself, I didn't notice anything different over the non-Beta version. I decided to ping the Windows Live OneCare team to see what we can expect with Windows Live OneCare 2.5. They tell me that the Windows Live OneCare 2.5 release is mainly what they call an "under-the-hood" release. That means that we won't see any big  new features like the great OneCare Circle introduced in 2.0.  Going forward with the Windows Live OneCare 2.5 Beta - continue to expect the improvements and changes to remain

OneCare, the anti-virus/tune-up/back-up all in one program, has just opened up a public beta of version 2.5 (current released version is 2.0.2500.22, on my machine, anyway).  Anyone can go to Microsoft Connect and sign up and try the new beta, you don't need to be signed in to get to the page: Sign up for Windows Live OneCare 2.5 beta Looks like there's quite a list of countries available, no US only this time.  Not sure what the changes are from the released version, and there's no information about changes on the public Connect site.

Windows Live OneCare is right on track to getting an anti-rootkit upgrade. Microsoft plans to added rootkit detection capabilities to its line of security products, but not only OneCare will be impacted by the change. The Forefront line of enterprise security solutions will also feature the added rootkit detection capabilities. The new anti-rootkit features come courtesy of security company

Microsoft delivers new versions of Microsoft OneCare, Office Accounting by ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley — On November 14, Microsoft released the 2.0 release of its Windows Live OneCare PC security/health service, as well as the 2008 version of its Office Accounting suite for small businesses. I have used Office Accounting Express 2007 and find it to be easy to use and simple, the new version of Accounting Express like the old is free and the Office Accounting Pro is $199. You can download both versions at Microsoft’s Ideaswin web site. Microsoft Launches All-in-One PC Care for Home and Small Business Networks.  I have not used OneCare since beta of OneCare 1.0, but it might be worth checking out.

You may recall that Microsoft has been in hot water over what appears to be updates occurring even when Automatic Updates are disabled.

Today, quite a few households have wireless networks that are unsecure - wide open for anyone to connect to. This could be a huge problem especially if PC's in that home are sharing important family files - like photos and documents - that shouldn't be seen by strangers. In Windows Live OneCare 2.0, a new feature is coming that will let users of Windows Live OneCare secure an unsecure wireless network in their home. I decided to give this new feature a try and share my experience. Once I connected to the unsecure wireless network, I launched Windows Live OneCare and was alerted by Windows Live OneCare that I was on an unsecure wireless network and that it can help me to secure it.  I clicked "Turn-on" and started the process.

In my previous demo of Windows Live OneCare 2.0 (beta) I was pretty general about its features. But I'd like to dive a little deeper into some of the enhancements and features coming with Windows Live OneCare's next major release. Coming with Windows Live OneCare 2.0 will be a brand new way to backup your most important and precious digital photos called Online Photo Backup. With Online Photo Backup you get 10GB of online storage to store your digital photos. Take a look at this small demo I made showcasing Online Photo Backup: Video: Online Photo Backup with Windows Live OneCare 2.0 Making sure your digital photos are backed up is a high priority for Microsoft and the Windows Live OneCare Team. A user could have many years worth of digital memories stored on their PC and if that PC crashes, those memories are lost. Of course you can back those photos up to another PC, or a DVD but those don't come entirely risk-free. Backing up to another PC doesn't mean that PC won't fail and

Security threats from viruses, malware and spyware continue to grow and show no sign of abating. Despite this fact, most consumers and small businesses today are using PCs without basic security protection technologies such as anti-virus and anti-spyware software. In some cases, they may have these protections in place, but are not keeping them up to date, or performing basic maintenance and performance-enhancing tasks, such as disk defragmentation, or backing up those important files. To help consumers and small businesses stay better protected and manage their computers, Microsoft has introduced beta 1 of Windows Live OneCare 2.0. PressPass spoke with Gina Narkunas, lead product manager for Windows Live OneCare, to learn more about the features in this next version of OneCare, and how consumers and small businesses will benefit.

The Windows Live OneCare team today released the Beta version of OneCare 2.0 -- you can download it here.  Windows Live OneCare 2.0 is designed to make it easier to secure and maintain multiple PCs on a network so that households and small businesses alike can manage their PCs from a single control panel.  Aside from multiple-PC management, new to OneCare 2.0 is: Wi-Fi connection security:  Secure your home Wi-Fi connection and protect the privacy of wireless data transfers.

Windows Live OneCare 1.6 had been released, and it is now available for download to all users from onecare.live.com. Users already running OneCare will be upgraded over the next few weeks. The changes in 1.6 include the ability to disable the firewall (Firewall Advanced Settings - Managing and Sharing) as well as a monthly report of firewall activity available from the OneCare dashboard. OneCare also improved its performance in the virus scan test which saw it placed last back in February. Unfortunately it is still ranked 14th out of 17 products tested. Technical details of the test are available from ComputerWorld . If you have any support issues with OneCare, head over to the Windows Live OneCare forums.

I thought that OneCare might be a decent all in one bit of security software. I was wrong. On my desktop Vista PC it works OK most of the time. Hmm.. good point, how do I know it’s actually doing anything, maybe I’ve been lucky and just haven’t been anywhere near any security problems. Anyway the OneCare icon in the tray stays green most of the time which means it’s happy with itself. Well it was till yesterday when it was suddenly red and displayed me a message that it’s virus definitions were out of date. I thought it was responsible for updating its own virus definitions. Also, when I double clicked on the icon to see why it was red it seemed that it had turned off its own Windows Defender. On my other two PC’s, which also have OneCare installed, both of their icons are permanently red and when I check on those it says that it hasn’t been able to install some of its own updates. One of the PC’s is running Vista and the other XP. No dou

Windows Live OneCare has come under fire for deleting users’ Outlook or Outlook Express email files. The problems arise when OneCare detects an email with a potentially dangerous attachment and responds by quarantining or deleting the .pst folder that holds all the users’ Outlook emails. Read more…

Microsoft ha dicho que la seguridad de OneCare tiene “un problema” con el código subyacente del antivirus. En la demostración de CeBIT en Hannover, un encargado de Microsoft ha admitido que él producto OneCare es lejos de ser perfecto y que le “están faltando” pedazos que arreglar. OneCare ha sido perseguido por la controversia desde su lanzamiento el pasado mes de mayo. Las muestras de que el software no era fiaables vinieron el mes anterior en que OneCare no pudo alcanzar la certificación en una prueba independiente de productos de seguridad. Después de eso, emergió que el producto no protege suficientemente a los usuarios del sistema operativo de Vista de Microsoft contra el malware. Pero los últimos problemas y más serios se presentaron después de que el producto borrará equivocadamente los archivos del Outlook . Microsoft se disculpó por los problemas y ha publicado una actualización , para parar la identificación positiva falsa como malware de los ar

For once, a Microsoft employee (most likely a soon-to-be-former employee at this point) has admitted something most of us have known for a long time: Microsoft OneCare shouldn’t have been released. Anyone who’s actually tried using OneCare has known this for a long time. Add to that the recent discoveries that OneCare fails to pass independent testing (actually, it was the only product tested that failed to gain any certifications) and OneCare fails to protect Windows Vista (but to be fair, McAfee isn’t doing much better in that regard). My favourite quotes from the article that pretty accurately sum things up: Asked about these problems, Arno Edelmann, Microsoft’s European business security product manager, told ZDNet UK on Thursday that the code itself has pieces missing. “Usually Microsoft doesn’t develop products, we buy products. It’s not a bad product, but bits and pieces are missing,” said Edelmann. So, in other words, Microsoft

Microsoft has said that its OneCare security suite has “a problem” with the underlying antivirus code, and admitted that security is just “a little part of Microsoft”. Speaking to ZDNet UK exclusively at the CeBIT show in Hanover, a senior manager for the software giant said that its consumer security product is far [...]

Microsoft quietly patches Windows Live OneCare to fix Outlook problems by ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley — Microsoft is not going to patch the latest version of its Windows Live OneCare service on March 13 to remedy Outlook compatibility issues, as a number of news and blog sites are reporting. The reason? Microsoft already issued the required OneCare patch with no fanfare on March 11.   This problem has upset a lot of Outlook and OneCare users. 

Paul Thurrott reports that Windows Live OneCare will soon begin OneCare version 2.0 beta testing. This version will push beyond the suite's security focus to provide continuous and holistic care... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

According to a good number of recent posts, people are starting to get really mad because all of their email is being deleted by the OneCare product! According to reports, if OneCare detects an email with malware in the attachment, it quarantines the entire Outlook PST file! And on top of that, for a lot of people it has deleted their the file from quarantine also! So if you're using Windows Live OneCare and this has not happened to you yet, TURN IT OFF and wait for the patch!! http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9012969&source=rss_topic125If you're one of the lucky ones or even if you don't have OneCare, you should still backup your Outlook email because you never know when it can get corrupted or deleted and you might lose years worth of emails!! Here's a link to the Microsoft Outlook Backup Utility which will help make sure the file is safely backed up!http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA010875321033.aspx

Recent reports suggest Microsoft’s OneCare anti-virus offering suffered a bug that could have caused it to delete or quarantine all e-mail in a user’s Outlook inbox, in certain cases when it finds a virus. Details have appeared in Microsoft’s forums. A short brief by Virus Bulletin suggests that the problem was confirmed and [...]

I have Windows Live Onecare on all three of my machines. One of them a Vista running laptop I hadn’t turned on for about 10 days, till yesterday. Onecare started when Vista starts and it had a look around to see what the state of the machines security is. And guess what? It told me I didn’t have an antivirus and suggested I connected to the internet to get one. Eh. Onecare is an antivirus application as well as antispyware and antiphishing and lord knows what else not-very-well-tested additional functionality. So Onecare effectively lost track of some parts of itself. What is it with Microsoft, they’re definitely getting worse. Rebooted machine and Onecare this time found the its own antivirus and gave me a clean bill of health. Which is more than I can say for Onecare. Paul Thurrott reckons Vista SP1 will come with a new kernel. That sounds like an operating system upgrade not a service pack upgrade. Jeez, how bad is the current Vista kernel if it’s got to

Estudio comparativo de 17 programas "Windows Live OneCare" de Microsoft es el único programa que no consigue aprobar una extensa prueba y estudio comparativo de software antivirus.

La totalidad de los programas superó con éxito la prueba, excepto Live OneCare de Microsoft. Grado de detección de 82,4% El programa de seguridad de Microsoft sólo logró detectar el 82,4% de los 500.000 virus usados en las pruebas. "Microsoft OneCare tuvo un pésimo desempeño. El programa ni siquiera cumplió con los requisitos mínimos para participar en las pruebas", escribe Andreas Clementi en el informe.

OneCare 1.5 goes gold by ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley — The retail and Web versions of Microsoft’s Windows Live OneCare 1.5 won’t be out until the end of January (allegedly at the same time as Windows Vista launches to consumers on January 30). But Microsoft officially released the code to manufacturing on January 3, according to a post on the OneCare team blog.
