Rating: - Set it and forget it.
It was fairly easy to set up. It does everything I need. It will shut off Windows defender though. You just set it up and forget about it. You have 3 licenses with each product which is great for multiple computer households or if you take care of your mother's or father's computer as well. It runs without slowing the computer. I have a Windows Vista machine with a core 2 duo (8400) 3ghz.

I do wish they had a way to press a button and block the internet connection from all incoming or outgoing connections. I would rather leave my machine on at night but there is no way to shut the connection down without actually disconnecting the internet cable or shutting off the router.

Rating: - Absolutely Terrible!
I had a nightmare trying to get this to install properly. After exhausting every online help possible, I finally had to e-mail technical support since Microsoft has no help available via telephone. I am still waiting for problems to be resolved. It appears that A LOT of people have issues trying to get the firewall installed.

The anti-virus missed a spyware program and a trojan that McAfee had to to find and delete. Do yourself and everyone else a favor by not buying and supporting inferior Microsoft products. Stick to Norton, McAfee, or PC Tools that produce quality products.

Rating: - Very good product
All in One Product. It contains everything you need to protect and maintain your PC. In addition, it has a good built-in Backup program. Never crashed. I had 1.0 version and I upgraded to 2.0. Highly recommended.

So often you get an anti-virus program that just completely bogs down your entire system, rendering it useless. With Windows Live OneCare, you don't even sense its there, even when doing a disk check.

I ran this on my mother's computer since she has a knack for downloading viruses and it found a good number of them. We got everything cleaned up, and to date, it's been quite a few weeks, none have been found since.

Her system now runs smooth and serene. Wonderful job, Microsoft!
