Will Microsoft Vista Work with Norton or One Care? May 12th, 2008

Recently we were asked if Vista would work with Norton anti virus or Windows One Care. Here’s the question from Laura:

Hello guys! I just bought a new computer (I had my old one for almost a decade) and it ran just fine. Anyway, I have a subscription for WOC for another year and a half, and I like it more than most other AV softwares. My new computer is preloaded with something called Norton 360 but Ive never used this before and to be honest I don’t know if I even want to.

So my question is, will Windows Once Care still work on my new PC? Even though I will be switching from XP to Vista on the new one?

Hello Laura!

The simple answer is YES! Of course Windows One Care will work well with your new Vista operating system  but I must say that I am a fan of the new Norton 360 (despite a few quirks with it), and since it’s pre-installed  on your system already you may not need to switch to WOC.

I can understand if you’re more familiar Once Care and that might be one reason to switch but if you dont want to go through the hassle of removing Norton and installing WOC, I can assure 360 is quite capable as a solid Vista anti virus.
