No, that's not correct. Windows Live OneCare is a Microsoft protection
package for sale. It runs on your computer just as other packages do.

See http://www.windowsonecare.com/

To its_my_dime: Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program, and does *not*
include any anti-virus protection, not any of the others features of Windows
Live OneCare. See the link cited above.

Is there a difference between the Windows Defender AV bad stiff scan
and those performed by Live OneCare and safety.live?
