Windows OneCare Debuts

Windows OneCare is an all-in-one subscription service that includes antivirus, anti-spyware, PC tuning, backup tools, and support, for the relatively low price of $49.95 per year. I say low because if all those items were bought piecemeal from different vendors, the price could be a lot higher. The goal of the OneCare program is to simplify the process of keeping your PC safe and backing up your data. For your average computer user, safe and responsible computing is too complicated and too time-consuming a task, so it just doesn’t get done. The competitive pricing of OneCare leaves competitors like Norton and McAfee scrambling to compete. McAfee is preparing a similar service code-named "Falcon," while Symantec has been working on a singular solution dubbed "Genesis," according to BetaNews. However, it seems, for once, Microsoft has beaten its competition to the punch. OneCare is the perfect recommendation for that not-so-savvy user, as well as anyone who would rather use their computer than spend all their time worrying about protecting it.
