Windows One Care is not compatible with Windows 7, and has, in fact, been discontinued.-- Bruce ChambersHelp us help you:http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.htmlhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin FranklinMany people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand RussellThe philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers.~ Denis Diderot

Yes, Bruce is right. Windows Live OneCare cannot be installed on Windows 7, because Microsoft has discontinued retail sales of the Windows Live OneCare subscription service. Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is a new free core antivirus and antispyware solution released by Microsoft. MSE is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

Windows OneCare Stop selling and it replace with Microsoft Security Essentials that you are using right now. Scanning and detecting of Malware and Spyware in Security Essentials is same as OneCare and it is faster than it. There are some method to make run OneCare in Windows 7, but I did not recommend them because they will put your PC at risk because OneCare scanner is not compatible with Windows 7 at all. I recommend you to stay with Security Essentials and use it in Windows 7.
