    Windows Live OneCare has been eating people’s e-mail

    Link
    If an attachment with a virus turns up, OneCare issues a quarantine, putting the attachment in a digital limbo until it can be deleted safely. But because OneCare cannot withdraw files individually, it attempts to lock down the entire storage area, thus rendering the e-mail program unusable.
    IE7 is nine years behind the standards or wrong.
    But it works in IE!

    Yeah, I've had major problems with Windows Live OneCare. I took over a network for a small government agency last week that uses OneCare. They wanted to have the software completely removed because of the issue with e-mails "disappearing." The previous network admin was fired because he wasted the agency's money on the software and refused to remove the software. He continuously insisted it was not the OneCare software package but it was the sender's that was not doing something right.

    Long story short, he didn't know how to uninstall the software because there was an error during the uninstallation process. It's funny that he calls himself a network admin and he can't even uninstall software or even Google to solve simple problems like this. Oh well!

    Like all Microsoft products...in time most of these problems will be out.
