live onecare turns windows defender off?
Thanks for the information, it was helpfulf. So before the open IE, should I
make sure that Windows Firewall is on? I mean I want to be sure that I get the protection? And what about using Norton 360 on top of OneCare and the protection given by Vista? Thanks!

Vista already contains a firewall, windows defender and windows defragmenter. What other options OneCare offers isn't worth having. That's a legitimate opinion, of course. What OneCare provides is a wrapper for security and maintenance of a PC that is designed to be simple to use. If you install a different antivirus product and use either Vista's built-in functions or 3rd party products and then configure, maintain, and run them regularly, you don't need OneCare. OneCare should be a set it and forget it application for tune-up, a/v, antispyware, and firewall. In addition, while the Vista firewall is two way, it isn't as easy to configure as the OneCare firewall which is built on the Vista firewall. -steve -- Stephen Boots MVP Windows Live Windows Live OneCare Forum Moderator |
