For the record, this confuses many people. We've passed feedback on to the
OneCare team that they really need to provide some sort of dialog about this
within OneCare.

Windows One Care also installs a new 2 way firewall in place of the Windows
1 way firewall.

The Defender Team dropped the ball on this bad, real bad. Their blog shows
they know about it but still have not acted to help avoid user confusion.

An independent Defender install is pushed by Microsoft. Then Microsoft
integrated a different version into LiveOneCare. That new utility turns off
the independent Defender. All without any notice to the user that it is
LiveOneCare performing this act. It behaves just like a worm or a virus;
turning off the user's security utilities. Many hours have been wasted by
users because of this failure to communicate what is going on to the user.
In my opinion heads should roll.

Could this be the reason of 329 Critical objects discovered by
Ad-Aware SE in my Vista Ult?

Jdr

So here I am trying desperatly to turm on Firewall and defender each time
Live OneCare turns it off - what was I wrong? Better to leave Live OneCare 2
way firewall on??? and Defender??? I suppose I can keep turning it on.

Wish MS team would let you know, like CA, and most of the other Virus
Protection software. There I thought I was being loyal.

Bit tired - do not need heart attack knee jerk' reactions to warnings!!

Hey, but Vista is great - been ther since Beta, then Beta 2 and RC 1 and now
Unlitame - yep very nice.

Windows firewall in Vista is two way, not one way. What are you actually
getting for your OneCare subscription? In a nut shell, Anti Virus. Vista
already contains a firewall, windows defender and windows defragmenter. What
other options OneCare offers isn't worth having.
