I notice that you listed www.aumha.org as a source to check on. I have
already been there and they have a lot of material, but I could not find
anything relating to my Windows Live One Care security software. They only
refer to Windows Defender. This is true on many of the sources I have looked
at. Isn't Windows Live One Care considered to be a widely used, major,
security package???



No, it's not; just the opposite. It's very new, and not particularly
trusted by many, myself included.

Bruce: Why do you NOT trust Windows Live One Care? After all, Microsoft
is, and has been a leader in software development for decades. Funny you
should say this, since I just read articles about both Norton and McAfee
antivirus software having some vunerabilities. I have tried several other
antivirus programs and found them either too complicated or cumbersome to
use, or not comprehensive enough. WLOC is user friendly and covers not only
antivirus, but spyware, tune up, back up and automatic updates on antivirus
and spyware definitions.
