Microsoft OneCare Live – (The Antivirus software from Microsoft!)

yup. it has also arrived. It’s in beta right now. I have applied for the Beta. lets see if they roll me in or not.

Microsoft have not announced a released date as yet for the product, and it is unclear whether the company plans to charge for the software (note – setup screenshot two might suggest a subscription model is in the works). When Onecare was announced in May, Microsoft received criticism for offering anti-virus software that protected users from failings in the Windows OS. With Longhorn only just entering beta phases, one might draw the conclusion that Microsoft took the decision to offer a product like this to protect users against serious Windows flaws that require serious Windows updates. This aside, the Antivirus business is a lucrative one; with a ‘unique’ insight into the way its software works, Microsoft could add another integrated product to a already crowded market.

So far, reports from Beta 1 appear positive. The program, we are told, is ’surprisingly good’. Included in the package are two CD-Rs to help users test the backup function provided. Readers in the US interested in testing the product can do so by entering the Beta ID ‘OneCare’ on Betaplace.
