Windows Live OneCare
May 7, 2008I uninstalled (using the removal tool) Norton and installed OneCare on a trial basis. Do I need any additional spyware with this? Spybot, for example.

Kill Off Windows Live OneCare
Nov 18, 2008In a very surprising move, Microsoft has announced today that Windows Live OneCare customers will be getting the shaft next year. The software giant has decided to replace OneCare with a free security solution (codenamed "Morro") to be released in the second half of next year. The yet-to-be-announced product will be a realtime anti-malware protection solution, whereas OneCare offered that plus backup and management features. Sales of the Windows Live OneCare subscription service as well as Windows Live OneCare for Server on SBS 2008 will end on June 30, 2009.
If your subscription is about to run out, I'd suggest looking for an alternative instead of renewing a product that is on its way out the door. Sure, OneCare will continue to be available online until Morro is available and your subscription will still work until it ends, but Microsoft's decision makes the company look unreliable.

Mar 23, 2008I've been given a new Windows Live OneCare subscription to try, and I
currently use AVG Internet Security, for 3 home computers, all running Vista.
I'd like to know if Onecare is something I should give up the AVG for. I have
a subscription with AVG through Feb of next year, (paid for) so I don't want
to give it up unless there is particulary good benefit from it.
Could someone give a review of these two programs?

Feb 26, 201032-bit Vista Home Premium. Have Windows Live OneCare installed, but am getting a msg that the service is disabled. I cannot get into services either through the start search box or through the control panel. If I use the box, the service never displays and I can no longer use the start menu unless I go to task manager and log off and then log back on. If I use the control panel, it just sits there with the revolving blue circle. If I open task manager and click on the services tab there is a service listed called OcHealthMon which is described as Window Live One Care Health Monitor and it says the status is stopped. If I right click and select start service I get the msg 'The operation could not be completed. Access is denied"
If I boot in safe mode I can go into services, but it says that OneCare has an Automatic startup type and is already started. I have MalwareBytes installed on the PC and it finds no malicious items in safe mode, but in normal startup the desktop icon has a litle security center emblem in the lower right hand corner. I cannot open the security center from the control panel - blue wheel again.
Setup OneCare Properly To Restore Last Backup?
Feb 16, 2009For some reason OneCare is not allowing me to restore to the latest backup (7 days ago). I can only select the main OneCare Backup folder, so I decided to allow this restore. It took quite a few hours and now I'm in shock! It actually restored everything from the beginning of 2008; there are thousands of files everywhere and some of my programs are not working correctly. How can I setup OneCare properly to restore to the last backup? I've spoken to Onecare support twice today. I guess my settings are messed up as well ecause we were not able to allow support to access my computer. It's wierd that at 8 a.m. both the phone agent and later the chat agent said they would send me a step-by-step 'how to' email but I've not received either of them.

Dec 22, 2009I have Windows Mail on my Vista machine. I did a clean install of Windows 7, and I now see that Windows Mail is not included. I must down from the Windows Live collection of 'Live' applications.
when I pressed the download button, I saw the file was named wlsetup-web.exe. Does this mean that to install Mail, I will first be installing the framework for installing any other Live applications I may want in the future? That is, is this like installing only Word from the Office suite?

Ms Want Therefore Don't Fix Wm In Windows Live Mail
Mar 28, 2009Windows Mail is so buggy I am beginning to feel I shall be forced to use Windows Live Mail, which I dislike imtensely. Almost wonder if that is what MS want and therefore dont fix WM. In Windows Live Mail, is there any way of sizing or moving the list of email accounts which dominates the whole of the left hand column? I have many accounts and having them take up so much space is just awful. It's the huge account headers that cause the problem - really bad design. Also, how does one get buttons for the common functions onto the menu bar? Or is this impossible and yet another bad design flaw? Why on earth don't MS provide OE for Vista? There was nothing wrong with it and the demand for it seems enormous.

I still can only log in with the old password. Someone else has access to my emails so just locking my computer is not an option because they can access my emails from their computer. So annoying!

Aug 30, 2009My Vista Ultimate laptop's CPU temperature sits normally at around 45C but now whenever I run Windows Live Mail it will shoot up over 90C and then forcibly shut the machine down! No other program has this effect and in all other respects things are running normally.
What could be causing this? How can I fix it? I have had the motherboard replaced, the heat sinks and the graphics card and I still have the problem. The machine has been cleared of all dust and has plenty of free space around it for ventilation. It has only started happening recently and, as I said, it is only caused by Windows Live Mail.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWindows Live Mail NOT OPENING!
May 15, 2010I'm beginning to encounter a real problem with my Windows Live Mail [Hotmail] account. I am referring to the 'online' display for Live Mail, as opposed to the web-based version [requires sign-on]. This displayed version;
If I click on to the Live Mail icon in the Quick Launch tray, the 'timer' symbol appears briefly......then nothing.
I have been able to restore some function by going to Control Panel>Programs and Features>Windows Live Essentials, and carrying out a Repair of Windows Live Features. As a last resort, I've also carried out a couple of instances of System Restore. I realise that this latter action is rather drastic, but I cannot think of any other alternative.
Just a thought though, is there any danger of losing all my Hotmail Accounts [I have two] Folders and Messages, should I decide to Uninstall, then Reinstall Windows Live Mail?
Solution
After earlier editing this post for the first time, I continued to look for a solution in Vista Forums, and eventually found it in Brink's post on Windows Live Suite Downloads, here;
Windows Live Suite Downloads
It was here that I noticed that the Version of Live Mail that I was using [14.0.8050.1202], was different to the updated Version mentioned in Brink's post [14.0.8064.0206].
Initially, I tried to do the update using my Firefox 3.0.12 browser, but soon realised that it was more appropriate to do the Windows Live Mail update using Internet Explorer 8 as the browser, and by downloading the full list given for the Windows Live Suite. I have yet to check, but this action [the full download] may have also resolved an ongoing 'bug' I have in Windows Live Photo Gallery.
Incidentally, prior to this I had done a check of Windows Update, and it reported that there were no Updates outstanding.
To confirm that the update was successful, this is the latest Version of Live Mail now installed in my system;
Windows Live Mail Installation
May 15, 2009I'm running Vista Home Premium with all the latest Windows Updates. I've been reading how Windows Live Mail (WLM) is an advanced version of WM so I finally decided to see if I could download and install it. Below is the link that I used to download WLM. I actually got to that link by Googling WLM and was taken to the site below. My dilemma is that I think I wound up signing up for Windows Live Hotmail so that I really can't tell if I've got WLM or not. Sorry to be so dense. I'm not even sure if these are one in the same. Yikes! Can anyone tell me if the `Mail' program I downloaded ((I had a choice to download other components (like Photo Gallery, etc.)) but only chose WLM). Do I now have is WLM or is it just a hotmail account?
