This morning I got a message on my PC to the effect that OneCare was about
to be updated and that I should not close it down until the update had
finished. I had seen this before and did not have a problem with it,
however, when the update was finished a message appeared saying that a
restart was required and that until the PC was restarted OneCare WOULD NOT
RUN AND WOULD NOT PROTECT THE PC!

Is this literally correct? What would have happened had I not been there
when the update finished? By the sound of it, my PC would be unprotected had
it been unattended - which it quite often is for very long periods. Can
anyone who knows comment?
