My status is listed as FAIR RRS feed

  • Question

  •  

    what can or should I do to improve it?  My laptop is brand new.  Why is my status only fair?  Also, I am having tons of problems with my hotmail account.  It locks up, switches me to another message in the middle of my reply to a different message and other various weird things.  What is going on?

  • I've moved your post to the General topic folder, Stacy3.

    Open OneCare to see the reason for the fair status and to see what action you need to take. If it is a new install of OneCare on a new PC, the most likely causes are that you have not yet identified if the network is "Home or Work" or Public" or that you have not yet configured backup. If you have an alternate backup solution, you can disable backup by going through the backup steps in Change Settings and selecting "turn off backup on this PC."

    As for the Hotmail issues, I can't tell you why that would be happening, though it sounds a bit like keystrokes are being intercepted as navigation if you are being switched to a different message during a reply. Locking up can mean lots of things, too, so I can't speculate what that would be due to.

    Open OneCare and you will see a banner at the top of the main screen for OneCare that identifies what action needs to be taken to get back to green. If you need help, please contact support.
