    I need to install Windows Live Onecare on Windows 7. I have downloaded the installer (1.4MB) and when trying to install it, free trial, windows 7 tells me that can't run this program due to compatability issues. I tried to change the compatability to Windows XP but same problem. So how can I insall it? Is there a version of onecare of windows 7?

    Installation of One Care in Windows 7 is unsupported. There are plans to release a free antimalware product code name "Morro" sometime around the RTM of Windows 7. I suggest using one of the free antivirus offerings on Windows 7 until then. See the announcement regarding One Care and Morro - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecareinstallandactivate/thread/ebe7e8de-c7a2-41c7-9072-24d3a2bc04ec

    Avast, Avira, and AVG are a few of the free applications which are reported to work well.
