Easy to Use Windows Live OneCare constantly thinks about your computer's safety and maintenance--so you don't have to. OneCare communicates the status of your PC's health in the notification area of your Windows taskbar:
A green icon means your status is Good. Protection Plus features like antivirus and firewall are up to date, your computer is not due for a tune-up or a backup, and there are no actions to take requiring your attention. Windows Live OneCare is running in the background, monitoring your system to prevent threats like viruses or spyware.
A yellow icon means your status is Fair. Usually this means you have an action to take, such as scheduling or running a tune-up or backup, or downloading a non-critical update. A yellow icon means there is no immediate threat to your system, but you should take care of the action as soon as you can to return your system to green.
A red icon means that your computer is At Risk. This can happen if, for example, Windows Live OneCare is unable to update Protection Plus with the latest virus definitions because of a lost Internet connection, or if the Windows Live OneCare Firewall is turned off.
Always On and Automated Windows Live OneCare works continuously, automatically, and quietly in the background on your PC, ever vigilant against threats but never in the way, allowing you to have fun and be more productive:
Performance Plus is just like taking your car in for regular servicing, but with Windows Live OneCare, the service is automatic. During the tune-up, OneCare performs routine maintenance such as defragmenting your hard disk and cleaning out obsolete files to help improve your computer's performance.
Backup and Restore makes it easy to protect your important files. You can back them up to the location of your choice: external hard disk, CDs, or DVDs. No matter which type of backup you choose, Windows Live OneCare reminds you when your files need backing up and can even back up your files automatically if you use an external hard disk drive.
