On Tuesday, Microsoft announced its pricing structure for Windows OneCare Live, its upcoming subscription-based safety and security software service for Windows XP users. Additionally, the company revealed its expected timetable for delivering the service to consumers.
Microsoft describes Windows OneCare Live as a PC health service that is continually running in the background on a PC, providing round-the-clock protection and maintenance capabilities. The product includes a virus scanner, a two-way firewall, performs various system tune-ups, and provides data backup facilities. Later this year, Microsoft will also integrate OneCare Live with Windows Defender, the company's anti-spyware solution.
