Windows OneCare Live is the new service that microsoft is launching. It is currently in its beta stage but you can get your hands on a trial (Beware: Its an online install). So far it looks like a good service. For extended use, you need to buy a subscription
I have included 2 screenshots and i will add anymore if i feel they are necessary
Atm it is doing a complete defragmentation of my pc and later it will check for updates. The additional features that your windows xp sp2 already doesnt have its the WOCL antivirus which i still need to run a few tests on
Also i think the firewall is an upgraded version (cause sp2 was released some time back and the updates may do only that much. And plus i dont think that you have to pay money just to get an antivirus and a central system to handle all your security. I already have Zone Alarm Security Suite for that
Plus ZASS is only about 23 mb while WOCL is bigger. Then again for an update, WOCL will download only the required files while you need to download the entire 23 some mb installation file for ZASS
All in all we’ll just have to wait and see how good this is. For more info just goto Windows OneCare Live’s official website
In summing up this is a good app for you if you can spend the money and if you have a high end pc. In general this is yet another “memory whore” application brought to you by the friendly programmers at microsoft
