Strange...my OneCare would not work at all and said it was not compatible.
But Avast seems to be running well at the moment.

OneCare will be dropped later this year and a free solution ("Morro")
will be offered instead. See:

Not Norton.
I repeat NOT NORTON
AGAIN NOT NORTON. In fact, if you upgrade get it off
your computer before the upgrade or you will be sorry.
I know. this stupid SOB got a non fixable BSOD

Try AVG worked for me.

and have NO problem at all.
