I just bought this product and it asked for a Product Key and then didn’t accept it because it was probably a bogus number that came with the product, so the product won’t work, and I can’t find a single number for any live help. All the online help doesn’t even come close to addressing this problem, so I just paid about $35 for nothing.

This product was a big disappointment.
It is a suite of security applications for up to three windows PCs.
My biggest issue – and most importantly, is it requires a subscription of 50 dollars a year from Microsoft.
The only reason I’m giving this any stars is because: 1) you can’t give it zero stars, and 2) it does gather multiple applications in a one-place control panel.
With the exception of above, the only “plus” for OneCare is that it does support multiple PCs for the same 50 dollars a year. Still, though, 50 bucks is 50 bucks, and who knows what the price will be like in the future.
Folks, please be aware – all these applications are available elsewhere, in one form or another, most for free. See MajorGeeks and GriSoft for instance.
I cannot recommend this product. At all.
Also, it is packaged in what has to be the most frustrating box to open ever encountered.

Unfortunately Microsoft, in typical anti-competitive behavior, has made sure that you cannot use other vendors products once you install OneCare Live, without constant warnings. They believe that using other scanners (not in real time) to find additional problems should never be allowed. If you install this you will be warned if you use Ad-Aware or SpyBot SD, both of which are free products. OneCare Live is known to not catch a number of infections, so occasionally scanning with another product is advisable. You should never run more than one scanner product in real-time, however, manually scanning with more than one is advisable. Microsoft once again is trying to irradiate competitors instead of focusing on the viruses and spyware on your computer. You would have think they would have learned something from the IE lawsuits.

This is a terrible product. I was unable to install it, despite hours on the phone with Microsoft support.
