Guest Eugen Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 As a matter of fact Defender is only an antispyware, while OneCare is both antispyware and antivirus, so you should be better protected. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Guest John Barnett MVP Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 OneCare will disable your Vista copy of Windows Defender and will also disable the Windows Firewall. It does this because OneCare has its own version of Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. OneCare is giving you full protection, so there is no need to worry. -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
