i know this about onecare. it makes my desktop settings come up a lot
faster
than norton does. 15 seconds with onecare. over a minute with norton.
onecare
makes that one thing GREAT to me. i'm going to stick with onecare.

So, you would prefer getting your desktop going faster to getting rid of
malware? OneCare Beta is a program whose time has not yet arrived.

I need a little advise:

I just loaded the Microsoft OneCare Beta (free right now). The download
required me to uninstall Norton in order to load OneCare. For the last
several days, I've let OneCare take care of the computer. I don't know
if I'm
supposed to reload Norton or not. A friend said that she doesn't think
OneCare is doing everything to protect us from everything. I disagree
(Ithink)!

What would you do?
