Erm.... A firewall application and an anti-malware application are
two entirely separate things and serve completely different purposes.

Indeed, but we then have to believe that Bardharlock purchased One Care
just to replace the Windows firewall, ignoring the integrated Defender
anti-spyware by switching off the anti-spyware plus anti-virus function of One Care - maybe so.
The default action on installing OneCare is to disable Defender and the Windows firewall.



All the more reason to install or re-activate Defender and the built-in firewall, then. One certainly wouldn't want to rely solely upon One Care.
