OneCare goes live

Microsoft anti-virus goes on general release.

Microsoft's anti-virus software Windows Live OneCare is due to go on general release this month. OneCare, which has been available free of charge in beta form since November 2005, will be available in its final, fully supported version, for $49.95 per year. The cost will include licences for up to three Windows XP PCs.

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.
