I am in India & have been using the free trial version of Windows Live One Care. It is very effective & much better than Norton Protection. The problem is that some stupid Poicies at Microsoft have allowed trial marketing India, but, not started sales of this product. After the free trial, the icon has turned red & not getting updates support from Microsoft. Can someone advise at akjauhari1 at hotmail.com (do not spam). Thanks a mil
