In the May 8 issue of PC Mag- I see a comparison of AV products- with MS's
Live OneCare at the bottom. Is it really that bad?

yes, it's really that bad... it might get better in the future, but for
now it's probably best to avoid it...

The OP said there was a list, with MS Live OneCare at the bottom.

Where is a URL showing that list?

Of course PC World rates them a little differently.

For an actual independent review (of coverage) rather than PC Mag's
extreme advertiser bias (often their "reviews" are nothing more than
what the vendor gave them), go read http://www.av-comparatives.org/.
OneCare sucks. Guess they should've bought a better antivirus program
than RAV.

To show how ignorant is Microsoft, they followed WinPatrol's scheme of
polling for changes to key areas but obviously that detects the changes
too late. Anytime Windows Defender (or WinPatrol) tells you that
something changed, well, yup it got changed anywhere from a few seconds
to a minute ago. Other intrusion prevention software, like Prevx,
intercepts the changes and pends it (i.e., the change is not allowed
unless you say so or said so before and saved that response). Basically
Windows Defender has to perform an Undo function. Too late. It's
already been done by the time you get told about it.
