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.
