Why do i get so much Negative Feedback about Windows Live OneCare ?
I have heard people ranting about not liking Windows Live OneCare.
I have a feeling those people think that One Care is just an Antispyware/Antivirus Application, well it does much more than that.
I figured i would post the features, so everyone knows exactly what it does..
