02.09.2005OneCare and Defender to
integrate further?
The Windows Live OneCare team
used its blog yesterday to
announce they are currently
working on one of their most
requested feedback:
integration with Windows
Defender, Microsoft's
antispyware utility, still in
beta 2 version.
The first thing they did in
that way is to modify the
OneCare setup so that it also
installs Windows Defender in
the background.
"
For those interested
in the technical details, now,
when you install OneCare, as
long as you accept the default
prompts, the Windows Defender
install itself goes on behind
the scenes, and the Windows
Genuine Advantage check goes
on behind the scenes. During
the Windows Live OneCare
install process, the default
setting is to automatically
install Windows Defender with
automatic updates turned on.
However you will be given the
option to turn off automatic
updates of Defender signatures
or forego the Windows Defender
installation altogether if you
wish. "
The team also said
it will be easy to remove
Defender if wished, though the
didn't say if it'll be
through the usual Add/Remove
Programs or another way (a
button through the OneCare
front-end, for example).

12.07.2007OneCare Was Not a Failure, Microsoft Exec Says
Critics asserting that Windows Live OneCare didn't succeed on its own have got it wrong, according to Microsoft's chief security advisor for
the EMEA region. Roger Halbheer, in a blog posting on Monday, said it was "nonsense" for anyone to suggest that Microsoft's consumer
antimalware security solution had somehow "failed." Last month, Microsoft announced that it planned to discontinue OneCare while simultaneously
saying it would offer a free anti malware solution code-named "Morro." OneCare is priced at $49.95 per year, but Halbheer noted that many people
just cannot afford the extra amount, especially in newer and arguably poorer markets.

the way of new features or UI, version 2.5 is expected to be included in Microsoft Equipt, as well as OneCare for Server (for SBS), which is expected
to be released later in the year. If previous upgrades are any indication, the new version should be rolling out to existing users in the coming days

31.05.2006Windows Live OneCare 2.0 beta almost here
In
an
email sent to Windows Live
OneCare testers, Microsoft
confirmed the imminent start
of the OneCare 2.0 beta
program. Designated as
a "pre-premiere",
OneCare 2.0 will not be
available as a public beta
initially.
New
features we should be seeing
include:
- Multi PC
management - designate a
hub PC and then add additional
PCs to your OneCare circle
using a common Windows Live
ID. You can then see the
status of the other PCs within
the group.
- Printe
r Sharing - share your printer
with all the PCs in your
OneCare circle
- OneCare
Online Photo Backup -
paid storage is available
online for photo backups
(we're hearing 10GB but that
could change by the end of the
beta)
- Securing
wireless networks - if your
router is supported OneCare
2.0 will allow you to secure
your wireless
network
- x64
support
The ability
to backup online is a feature
we've been talking about for
a while, as a potentially
key part of storage in
the cloud. Windows Live
Folders is currently set at
500MB, but if 10GB is what is
being offered for OneCare
Photo backups, a
significant increase for
the final version seems more
than likely.
If you
haven't signed up for the
beta already,
here's the

18.03.2008Windows Live OneCare changes Automatic Updates
Amid reports that Windows Live OneCare changes settings in Windows Update to allow for automatic installation of important updates, the official word
from Microsoft is that this is by design. When first installing OneCare, the setup informs the user that proceeding will change computer settings to
automatically download and install important updates from Microsoft Update. Settings for recommended and optional updates are not changed. Even during
Tune-up, OneCare checks, and then prompts the user if there are missing software updates or if Automatic Updates settings have been changed.
“ OneCare is built for people who dont want to worry about protecting and maintaining their PC. This behavior is by design and is not unique
to the latest version of OneCare. It helps ensure that your computer continues to receive important updates as soon as possible after they are
released. We are evaluating user feedback and will be revisiting how we communicate the installation details of Windows Live OneCare as we are
continually working to improve that experience. In addition, OneCare was built with privacy in mind, and Microsoft takes that very seriously –
every new feature or setting change is reviewed and approved by Microsoft’s privacy experts .”
