4 of 5 OEM System Builder Pack Monday, January 12, 2009
Jim O. from Houston, TX
This program works exactly as described. Make sure you understand that OEM in this case is a "OEM System Builder Pack intended for system builders ONLY" My purchase did not come in the displayed retail package, it came in a case similar to a DVD case. I am a system builder and I know what OEM software means, you should make sure that you do too. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Love this product Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Linda D from Ventura, California
I feel so safe and secure using this software. I had another ant-virus system that I was using and it said I had a "trojan". I looked up "trojan" to see what it meant and saw that is was a very threatening virus. My other software did not tell me what it was, how to get rid of it, etc. I called my son-in-law and he suggested trying "Windows Live OneCare" and since he works in the computer field I took his advice. I downloaded the 90 day free trial of it and ran a scan-it picked up and removed the "trojan" right away and since then has also picked up other "trojans" immediately when they appeared on my computer. When the 90 day trial was close to ending I had to decide whether to purchase it or go back to my "free anti-virus"-it did not take me long to decide to purchase the software. By the way, buying it from Buy.Com is almost one half less expensive then purchasing it from the Microsoft Web Site page. I give this ***** 5 stars.....
