What are those...? Oh, that's right, the things Window PCs get... Score a point for Linux! :P // But anyway, for Windows this looks really good (I might buy it for my laptop)! Have any of you used threatfire or pc tools. Threatfire (http://www.threatfire.com/) is supposed to be good in combo with a general antivirus program. PC Tools was good but I've heard Symantec (the dark-side) bought them so I guess that option is gone... :( Viruses?

Online backups are handled by my own custom app (which backs up an encrypted copy of the important files to some extra storage space on my web server), but the others are just as important :) Hmm … that’s pretty cheap considering what it does.

I must say I have had no trouble at all with my 'One Care' protection so far. Let's hope it continues. Wow, Nick, don’t say I have actually done something right on my computer at last!

Don't let me mislead you though. Scans and backups <i>do</i> slow the computer down, but if you schedule them at suitable times, you can avoid the worst of it. Give the 3-month trial a shot. 5,775yen a year, and that covers up to three machines. Don’t let me mislead you though.
