Microsoft has added some new services to Windows Live OneCare and immediately increased the version number to 2.0. Windows Live OneCare is a collection of programs consisting of an antivirus, antispyware, firewall, backup and a performance tune-up program. The software works on all versions of Windows XP and Vista and comes in the form of a web installer, hence the download is only a megabyte in size. Windows Live OneCare can be tried for three months, after which an annual contribution of fifty euros will be requested. For this, the program may be installed on a total of three computers. Below is a brief description of the new features in version 2.0:

New features added to OneCare version 2.0:

Multi PC and home network management.

Helps ease management of multiple-PC environments by providing a single navigation bar for monitoring the security and maintenance of networked computers. Also enables one-click actions to resolve issues among computers within a home PC network.

Printer sharing support. Makes it easy to connect printers to local networks so all users in the vicinity can use the same printer.

Start time optimizer. Speeds PC boot time by removing rarely used applications from start-up menu. This helps to address one of the noticeable areas of frustration for PC users as time goes on.

Proactive fixes and recommendations. OneCare constantly monitors the specific configuration of the user’s system and makes proactive fixes and recommendations to improve the computing experience.

Monthly reports. Provides a summary in the Windows Live OneCare dialogue box of key activities and recommended actions for all PCs in a local network.

Centralized backup. Enables users to centrally configure and monitor backups for all PCs covered under the same OneCare subscription, with the data from all PCs backed up to a central location.

Online photo backup. Keeps precious photos safe from theft or accidental loss by backing them up to a secure, offsite location in Windows Live (available at an extra cost once v2.0 is out of beta).[break] Click on the image for a larger version.
