Review by Centriculous

I’ve used Norton Internet Security for years (I hate it though, see my review of Norton Internet Security 2008). This year, I’ve experimented with virtual PCs using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and VMWare. I tried using NIS 2008, but it wouldn’t install on my virtual PCs (stupid product) so I looked for a cheap alternative, and found OneCare. It installed wonderfully on my virtual PCs, and it does a fine job of protecting them. The 2.0 version adds a few new tricks which are nice. I wish that OneCare would add a feature to filter websites, and I can’t easily add IP addresses to a list of permissible websites like I can with NIS, but those aren’t major shortcomings. For good, cheap protection, OneCare does a fine job. I look forward to future releases of this product.
