Norton Internet Security vs Windows OneCare Live

[Guest]

I have had Norton for over a year now. Its a good program and no ploblems
yet, but as we all know Its a memory hog and runs alot of processes. I know
WindowsXP is picky about programs that run with it. I was wondering if
running One Care, being a microsoft program, would work better. I still want
a good security program and antivirus program. How well does Windows OneCare
stand up to Norton?

Different features & approach to overall security. One Care is for the
casual/average PC user. It has a minimalist approach to setup and
usage. One Care is still being refined/polished, so it's not 100% but
would work in a majority of situations. As to it's "Footprint", no where
near NIS at ~40 Megabytes and 7-11 processes/services.
One Care varies from Norton (NIS) in that it provides a basic form
of data backup/protection along with it's security features.
