I'm Getting More Concern than (One)Care
,----[ Quote ]
| Apparently, OneCare doesn't think too much of my corporate connection
| and switches status from "automatic" to "restricted" during VPN
| connection. This has been the case since I installed OneCare last
| week. So, why the futz now?

Microsoft shipped OneCare unfinished?
,----[ Quote ]
| Since shipping in May, OneCare has failed industry tests and exposed
| users to attack because of a security flaw in the antivirus engine.
| The application also incorrectly flagged Gmail as a virus and in some
| cases quarantined or even deleted complete in-boxes when a single
| e-mail was laden with a virus.

Microsoft using early Vista users as guinea pigs?

| Sounds familiar? Your bet - it's almost an exact re-run of the

Live Onecare loses own antivirus and a new kernel in SP1
,----[ Quote ]
| Onecare is an antivirus application as well as antispyware and
| antiphishing and lord knows what else not-very-well-tested
| additional functionality. So Onecare effectively lost track of
| some parts of itself. What is it with Microsoft, they're
| definitely getting worse.

| So when the 90 day trial expired, he thought it well worth the
| $90 or so which Microsoft asked for a licence. When he rung up,
| he was surprised to be informed that the Beast isn't yet selling
| the product outside America.
|
| So he was suddenly left with an XP machine that was defenceless
| and with plenty of data that was now unreadable.
