With the excellent Windows OneCare package, there is
no need to install a multitude of different security software.


Carey, respectfully, OneCare does not even come close to being as good
as the products in the top 20 for this type of thing. Your pasting of
sales mantra material is not going to help or protect the user, it's
just not a good program.

Symantec Corporate End Point Protection
MalwareBytes - MBAM manual/free scanner
AdAware 2009
Spybot Search and Destroy

Those products will actually protect and remove bad things.
