Windows Live OneCare 2.0

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Utilities
from: Microsoft


Though it can be easily argued that OneCare isn't the most comprehensive security application available, there's more to PC health than just security.

Since installing OneCare my files are backed up, my printers are shared, and my computer loads and runs faster. I also like the ability to monitor the status of up to three computers, Microsoft calls this your OneCare Circle. By adding my Mom's computer in Calgary to my Circle I'm able to keep tabs on her machine even though I'm 300 kilometers away in Edmonton!

OneCare is a great program which seems to be continually improving, and I hope Norton and McAfee steal a page from it's playbook. Good-work!

The software is great however its claim at being fully supported on the Vista OS can be a little misleading. Just purchased a new laptop and this software to go with it under the assumption that it would work. Only to find out it will not run on the Vista 64 bit operating system.

this product has got to be the worst I have ever used - I built my site according to their directions - I clicked build to have it transferred into HTML as per the instructions - and it didn't work - it didn't even attempt one of the pages - when I clicked veiw on browser it only showed me 3 of my 4 pages - and I couldn't design it the way I wanted I fought me the whole way - and when I finally got it to work for the 3 pages - I gave up on the fourth - I tried to publish it - and if you have a high-speed connection that is always connected and doesn't require a password - it won't let you get past the connection screen - and it has a list of ISP's - but NONE are Canadian and all require login - it does give you the option of paying to use their ...

Norton SystemWorks 2008 Premier Edition 11.0

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Utilities
from: Symantec

November 29, 2007
I used to be a big fan of Norton, but it latest editions are somewhat too large and sometimes cumbersome. On the up side, I have never contracted a virus when using Systemworks and I certainly have always felt confident in the high "quality" of their product (just not the "preformance"). Finally, their price is on the high end for this type of product.
