Protect What's Important
Home movies, photos, important documents, contact information - you store it all on your PC. Many of your memories are priceless, and your contacts and important documents are extremely difficult to replace.
You know that protection is critical, backups are important. Monitoring your children's Internet activities - where they go and whom they talk to - is crucial to their ability to explore and your need to protect their safety online. Wouldn't you rather spend less time worrying about securing your PC and more time connecting with the people, interests, information, and entertainment you care about most?
Windows Vista is the most secure operating system Microsoft has ever released. New features help you spend less time worrying about and implementing security measures to protect yourself. For example, Windows Defender automatically scans for spyware and allows you to remove harmful software so your computer can continue to perform the way it's supposed to. Internet Explorer 7 Protected Mode helps guard against hackers, and the Phishing Filter notifies you of suspicious sites before you enter them.
User Account Control and Parental Controls help to protect your family and to keep your computer running smoothly. User Account Control lets you decide if potentially dangerous software is allowed to make changes to your computer. And with the new Parental Controls in Windows Vista, you can set time limits and approve the games and applications your child is accessing to help make sure they have a safer computing experience, within the boundaries you establish.
You can use the Parental Controls feature in Windows Vista to help create a safer computing experience for your child.
Add Windows Live OneCare, the new all-in-one PC care service from Windows Live, and you enhance the high level of protection offered by Windows Vista so that your computing experience can be even safer.
Extend security
Help protect your Windows Vista-based PC and keep it running smoothly with an all-in-one PC security and maintenance service. Windows Live OneCare completes the security picture for Windows Vista by adding real-time antivirus protection to address new and evolving threats. Combined antivirus and antispyware filters add another level of protection to help prevent malware (viruses, worms, spyware, and other unwanted software) from invading your Windows Vista-based PC. By managing firewall policies and automating updates, Windows Live OneCare helps automate and simplify the maintenance of PCs running Windows Vista.
Corrupted files, power surges, overwritten files - accidents happen. Windows Vista provides solid, basic backup. The additional backup flexibility of Windows Live OneCare makes it easier to back up the files that are important to you. Windows Live OneCare helps you to group your files into categories, such as Financial, E-mail, Desktop, and My Documents. It then helps you to back them up to an external hard disk, CD, DVD, locally networked computer, or a USB-connected storage device. You can even indicate which files and folders you want to back up or restore. If there is an accident, you can find the files and folders you need quickly, and restore only those you need.
Windows Live OneCare is a subscription service, so you get ongoing updates and feature enhancements for your Windows Vista-based PC. As new features are developed in Windows Live OneCare, they will be available automatically to subscribers at no extra cost.
The all-in-one PC care service, Windows Live OneCare, automatically performs the tasks that are necessary to help secure your PC and optimise its performance.
Help safeguard your family
The Internet is like a big public playground where your children can socialize, play games, and share music, pictures, and blogs with their friends. This is how your children communicate and interact, and it's important to them. However, it's even more important to monitor the games they play, the sites they visit, and the people they meet.
Windows Live OneCare Family Safety is a powerful set of parental control features that help you guide your children's online experience. By personalizing the web-based settings, you can help keep your children away from inappropriate content. For example, with content filtering, you can set restrictions that will help prevent access to the types of websites you don't want your children to visit. If you're away from home, you can adjust the settings from any PC with Internet access. As your children get older, you can adjust the restrictions to allow them to explore the Internet, meet with their friends, and share more independently, but still help protect them.
To make sure your children are not viewing inappropriate content, you can easily view your children's Internet activities and the sites they visited.
Windows Live takes the powerful protection you enjoy with the new Parental Controls features in Windows Vista to the next level with Windows Live OneCare Family Safety. Together, Windows Vista and Windows Live help keep your family safer - both on the local PC and across the Internet.
