Since the Tune-UP feature of Live OneCare can't be disabled . . .
Since 'Tune-Up' automatically defrags *ALL* drives on a computer and there is NO way of
preventing this action . . .
. . . there is NO way Live OneCare can be allowed to run.

*We simply can not allow a process to run on a schedule, that can't be disabled, that defrags
drives that are huge and contain only very large files for storage purposes only.

Since the back-up feature of Live OneCare does not offer the option to back-up to an internal HD
renders that feature useless to me.

Is Windows Live OneCare an integral part of Vista that can't be disabled or, will we have the
option to install/use it - or not?


Thanks for any comments

OneCare is not a part of Vista. You must choose to either purchase it in
the store or download it, and then install it.

Thanks for that. I just found the ver 1.5 (beta) site. I'll uninstall the version I have and
install this beta so as to see if any of the features/options have been improved.

I kinda like the idea of Live OneCare but we MUST have options. It's a deal-breaker without them.

I tried OneCare 1.5 and it works well with Vista rc2 5744 but I didn't care
for the cost of it especially that we have AVG (IMO the best free AV
software) and Defender.

OneCare 1.5 is the only version of OneCare that supports Vista.

OneCare 1.5 CAN backup to disk as well.

It is not a part of Vista. It is a separate product.
