Microsoft's Live OneCare security software has failed tests which check how well it spots and stops malicious programs designed to attack Windows. OneCare was the only failure among 17 anti-virus programs tested by the AV Comparatives organisation.
I'm not writing this to bash M$. I know I couldn't do better. But, if you depend on this product to protect your PC, maybe you shouldn't.
The majority of programs tested, 14, got an advanced pass or better from AV Comparatives; two got a standard rating and OneCare failed.
A Microsoft spokesperson has said that they will review the methodology of the testing and the test results, to ensure they can pass next time.
