Tuneup Is Intrusive. Help Please? RRS feed

    Although OneCare seems to be protecting my computer, I am unhappy with the interface and the apparent lack of ability to disable parts of the tuneup including virus scan and disk defrag.  I run these functions on my own and find that each time I turn the computer on to be reminded to do this is unacceptable.

     

    Is there a way to turn these items off as even a 5-week cycle is enough to cause me to want to remove OneCare in deference to software that is more configurable.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    The longest interval between tune ups that can be configured is four weeks and the longest interval for a virus scan is one week. Other than scheduling these events to occur at a time when you are not using your computer such as overnight there is no other option.
