    I have Windows Live OneCare program installed. Another program that keeps popping up is Windows Live OneDare Safety Scanner, which I downloaded also. Do I need both of these? What are advantages,if any, of one over the other?  Can I delete one? What exactly does safety scanner do differently from Live OneCare? Any feed back I get would really be apprecaited. Thank You

    The main difference between the Safety Scanner and the Installed version of One Care is the Safety Scanner runs once over the internet without installing a complete program and after the scan completes does not offer any protection. The installed version of One Care protects your computer in real time. I am curious about the Safety Scanner pop ups. What do you mean by "Another program that keeps popping up is Windows Live OneDare Safety Scanner"?
