Well, I am never one to recommend or claim MS is bad with some stuff!!
I been using Windows Live OneCare since it went beta, works great, does everything it is advertised to do. I do note however, that it does not play well with some other firewall, and anti-virus programs. It also does not find all the junk that some of the other programs find after you been on the net going thru sites for a while.
The Backup function does very well, if you have a drive to put the backup on, "personally I have an external HD to use", and I have it automated to do a backup on a scheduled basis, so I do not forget to backup!! (with other software I had you had to remember to run it, or the schedule part gave no reminders, or warnings. You can search for files to restore if you need to get some info back on your main drive. I would think that the backup to CD might be a little tougher to do.
It also comes with Windows Defender, a separate program to run some other protection, and it checks for missing updates, and downloads according to how you set it to operate. I personally look at anything it downloads before I let it install.
I would recommend it to anyone who needs basic protection.
