Windows Live OneCare
My friend purchased a one year subscribtion to Windows Live OneCare which is a horrible program from personal experience.

Can anyone direct me to soem sources so I can show them that they wasted there money on worthless, system resource eating crap.

I suggested Avast or AntiVir 6 month trial with Comodo Firewall but, He did not listen.

Maybe it's not such a bad program if you need help finding something bad about it. I've been using it for about 6 months and don't have any problems with it. It works for me.

in February 2008, AV-Comparatives.org placed Windows Live OneCare second last in its testing of seventeen anti-virus products
