How do I get new protection
The free Microsoft Security Essentials is an excellent replacement for malware protection - http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ Before installing MSE One Care must be uninstalled and the One Care install cleanup tool should be run - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecareinstallandactivate/thread/399071e2-49dc-4767-932d-d261e3965943 MSE in conjunction with the Windows Firewall will offer superior protection. For backup you can use Windows Backup or a third party backup solution. After One Care is uninstalled you can restore One Care backups if necessary by using the One Care restore tool - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecarebackupandrestore/thread/e5d686c8-762b-4b22-bc08-bfb93f911e57
