Is there a difference between the Windows Defender AV bad stiff scan and
those performed by Live OneCare and safety.live?
 
defender installs and runs from the pc.
the "live" stuff runs from microsoft via the internet....

No, that's not correct. Windows Live OneCare is a Microsoft protection
package for sale. It runs on your computer just as other packages do.

See http://www.windowsonecare.com/

To its_my_dime: Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program, and does *not*
include any anti-virus protection, not any of the others features of Windows
Live OneCare. See the link cited above.
 
hey, its your dime, but now a days we could use "all" the help that we can.
Its a malware war on global porportions out there and it aint pretty when
your computy gets hit....
 
yeh, didn't mean to be facetious. I used one care for a while, but was
never impressed with it.....so I don't push it onto others...
 
These programs are supposed to work effectively if your system clock is
correct!.
