I have surf around and found PC maintenance and protection solution.

Has anyone try it before? Is it suitable for large organization? Any comment ?

Windows Live OneCare

Firstly it's not called once care :rolleyes:

...although that is funny.

I used it during the Beta stage. It was pretty okay, but there are better products out there. My biggest issue I had with the program with that the pro of using the Beta was that you get the final product at discount. however this was only the case for U.S. citizens. This created quite a miffness factor for the rest of the world.

Edit: It's still only available for U.S. citizens.

I tried it back when it was a free beta version, however I wasn't impressed with it at all. I personally don't like those type of combined/suite app's because if part of it gets buggy it could effect the whole product. Also there's free alternatives that you never have to pay for such as these full-featured freeware:
Antivirus: Avast, AVG, Antivir
Firewall: ZoneAlarm, Sygate Personal Firewall, Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall.

If I absolutely had to have some sort of combined/suite security app I would however choose Windows Live OneCare over Norton SystemWorks.
