OneCare goes international

Your IT - Home IT

Microsoft has announced that Windows Live OneCare, its service and security offering, will go on sale in 17 countries on January 30.

Timed to coincide with the retail release of Windows Vista, OneCare annual subscriptions will be available online or in stores for $US49.95 or "similar pricing" outside of the US. Users of the beta service will be offered a discount of around 60 percent if they order online.

The service will provide virus and spyware scanning, firewall management, anti-phishing measures, performance tuneups (eg, disk defragmentation) and backup for users of Windows XP SP2 or Vista.

OneCare will be available in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Symantec's Norton 360 service offering broadly similar facilities went into beta last November, with a Vista-compatible beta appearing just before Christmas. The release version is expected by March.
