One Care is AWFUL as a security suite. You really should go with Kaspersky or similar

I read that a lot






After I bought it:o

Its run out now anyway.

Maybe thats why they are scrapping it?

Bullguards awful too

Either go with Kaspersky, or go with free programs (Though im thinking you wont want the free ones as you need quite a few to be safe)

I guess thats a great price?

Im not 100% sure what this means, but thinking ahead it looks like you can get 1 year then you need to pay it again for the 2nd year ~

I thought thats how they all worked? You buy it in the box the first year & can renew online (for a fee) the second year?

Thats an amazing price though:beer:

But I'm scared to order incase its a top up or something?:o

My Windows OneCare has run out, they don't sell it at PC world any more. You can renew online but its more expensive:rolleyes:

I looked at PC world & saw this

I liked OneCare because it was a simple all-in-one product.

I have an external hard drive (buffalo) & I think that OneCare did an automatic back up to this. I like something that I can set to run & take care of itself & I like an all in one.

I'm with AOL BB, in case that matters.

One thing thats always puzzelled me is..........all these suites come with a fire wall, BUT windows has its own firewall, why do people need two?

Should should I buy the McAfee? or is there something more suited (thats an all-in-one product)?

Thank you

I vote for Kaspersky too. One thing you might want to do - if you bank online you may find that your bank offers a free or greatly reduced licence for one of the security suites... Barclays actually give online banking customers a free Kaspersky licence, for example. Worth a look at what your bank does - especially if you bank with barclays and you like our tales of how Kaspersky's stuff is good.

This was rated no 1 on reviews sites I came across.

Maybe for experts though.

I'm with A&L.

I do have a Barclays current account, but I haven't used it in ages.

But I don't think its an internet one (well I know I've never gone on the internet with it) IYKWIM?
