Microsoft announced recently that the product had received certification from iCSA Labs as well as having received the Checkmark certification from West Coast Labs. This month, to complete the set, OneCare was submitted to VB for inclusion in the Windows XP comparative review. The results can be found on p.11 of the June 2006 issue.

When do you install software updates?
As soon as they are released
As soon as I have some time
I take my time, but I always install them eventually
Only when I feel it is absolutely necessary
Never
