    Hello all...

    I'm currently evaluating One Care for use in our home under the (generous) 90 day free trial.  Our Norton subscription has expired and I'm looking for a better solution.

    First, I purchased a new HP notebook this week that will be arriving with Vista Ultimate 64-bit pre-installed.  Will I have any problems running One Care?

    Second, is One Care a 64-bit program?  Believe it or not, I can't find this anywhere.

    Thanks again... Thus far, I like the "unobtrusiveness" of the One Care over Norton's offerings.

    Congratulations on the new notebook. Yes, OneCare will run on Vista 64 bit. Be sure to install from the web, though, as the retail CD for 1.0 or 1.5 will not allow you to proceed on x64 Vista. http://onecare.live.com

    Hello Steve,

     

    Thanks....I'm still waiting for it to come from HP (arriving in another week or so), but I'm really looking fwd to running Vista.

     

    My wife runs Vista on her Macbook under VMware and it just flies....but she installed Norton for Vista (free copy from our DSL ISP) and it just slows it down.  I installed the trial Onecare on it and it is a lot faster than Norton, so that really gave me confidence in using it on Vista.

     

    Anyway, wish me luck and thanks again for the info. :-)

    I'm glad to read that you found OneCare to work well on your wife's MacBook. And, good luck to you in setting up and exploring the new PC when it arrives.
