I've noticed that when I click view available updates, the critical one(s)
are checked and other(s) aren't. Those that aren't checked are triggering
the notification from OneCare?
Also, If I decide to try OneCare again, should I manually uninstall my
current
Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware software or will OneCare do it upon installation?
Can't remember the situation the last time.
