Not for me. I tried it and it told me my system was at risk because I hid

some hardware updates......

Please tell us your OS, Service Pack level

and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

You're welcome to dislike OneCare since it is far from perfect and security

suites are very much personal preference based on experiences, etc.

The handling of Automatic Update monitoring with the simplistic requirement for

"download" and install immediate or at a specified time being the only valid

choices to be in good status is also a reason to complain about OneCare, but you

were never at risk for hiding hardware updates. If, however, the updates were

offered incrrectly by WU as Important or Critical, OneCare would have advised

that updates were missing. And, that is assuming that AU was set to one of the

required choices. Had you configured AU to any other setting, OneCare would make

the status "at risk" without even knowing what updates were available for the

system.
