Windows Live OneCare helps protect your computer, and its automated optimization features keep your PC running at its speediest. OneCare even regularly backs up your important files. You get all this in one convenient package:

• Protection Plus, with its antivirus and antispyware scanners and managed, two-way firewall, helps protect your computer from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, hackers, and other threats. It runs continuously in the background, but you can scan individual files and folders for viruses on demand simply by right-clicking them. You can even scan attachments you receive via Windows Live Messenger or MSN Messenger.
  
• Performance Plus regularly defragments your hard disk, removes any unnecessary files that can clog your PC, and helps make sure important security updates from Microsoft are installed efficiently and on time.
  
• Backup and Restore regularly copies your important files and settings to CD, DVD, or external hard disk.
  
• Instant Support provides online help anytime you need it, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

OneCare is always-on, and runs in the background rather than you having to set everything else aside for an hour-long manual scan. PerformancePlus defragments and cleans your harddrive automatically, updates are installed continuously, and backups can be scheduled.
