live one care has a built in virus protection in it so you need to remove
AVG
you cannot run two antivirus programs at the same time- they will fight each
other and you will wind up with a nice crash!

AVG doesn't work on 64-bit? News to me! I've been using it for the last
6 months!

AVG is a good anti-virus program. But that's all it does.

Live OneCare does system tune ups and backups as well as evilware
scans. For your subscription, you can use it on three PC's. It also
makes sharing a printer on your local network easier. Plus you get
unlimited telephone/live chat tech support for Live OneCare from
Microsoft techs in case anything goes wrong. You'll get more value for
your money with Live OneCare.

Well when OneCare first came out, it sucked. I was a beta site for it.
Now with 2.5 its 100 times better. I cant wait for 3.0 which I think
is adding email scanning and other features. I totally recommend
OneCare or AVG.

Why would anyone with a clue *add* e-mail scanning to
an AV product? OOohh - that's a Microsoft product huh?

-never mind

I'm not sure where the rumor of email scanning in a future revision of OneCare
came from, but I have to agree with your sarcasm. Scanning email inbound and
outbound is generally considered to be "smoke and mirrors" which causes more
problems than it solves. I am not aware of any plans to add this to OneCare,
although stranger things have happened.

Microsoft has a long history of giving the people what they want
even if it is not necessarily good for them. For instance the out-
of-the-box experience achieved by default settings that may have
severely compromised overall security.

If people pass over Microsoft's AV offering in favor of other ones
which offer the added (false sense of) security of e-mail scanning,
then I'm sure they will offer it as well.

Hopefully it will be disabled by default. )
