Windows Live OneCare Options

[Dogmeat]

Ok, I bought this about a month ago and had been testing it out on my desktop.

Needless to say I've been much more impressed with it than I have any version of Norton I've ever used.

I've recently converted my laptop over to it as well as all my family's personal computers and my dad's office computers ... so 12 computers in all, two of which are running our own personal web and mail servers.... and it's been working flawlessly for these purposes.

It is much more configurable than any other version of Norton I've used ... it basically expands the built in windows firewall (not that I'm a fan of software based firewalls like this to begin with, but still) to work better than it used to....

But the thing I like about it most is, it seems to generally use less system overhead than norton did. My laptop and desktop start up noticibley quicker than they used to and WoW runs on my laptop suitably without me having to actually disable the virus scaner...

I have not used this software in a commercial setting, so I cannot comment on it in such, but for personal use I would highly recommend it over Norton, AVG, or McAfee....

norton is made by symantec, i'm aware of that, but SAC is not norton. It's less intrusive, less buggy, uses less resources and more designed for the corprate world. plus it allows you to adminstrate it via a server, and definition updates are available to SAC users first (and usually more often)
