    Anyone know how good this program actually is? I was trying it out and it kept saying it found all these viruses so I ran my trusty Avast virus scanner and it came up with nothing.

    I normally like MS products... but I'd stay FAR away from OneCare as possible.

    I like for my antivirus to do antivirus and not be a solution for everything under the sun. But that is me... I like to piece together my security plan... with different products. For people who don't want to take on that responsibility, something like onecare might be a solution.

    For a good review of the current version of onecare:
