Windows Live OneCare Beta 2.0 buggy on Vista x64

Saturday, July 14, 2007

After only a couple of days using the 2.0 Beta of Windows Live OneCare on 64 bit Vista, I can definitely recommend *NOT* installing it. OneCare hangs during a virus scan of my PC, getting stuck on an Outlook PST file contained in a gzipped tar file. Also, SlimServer has stopped working. To make matters worse, I can't remove OneCare as the uninstaller is hanging.

I eventually re-installed Vista from scratch and removed the 10GB tar file that was causing OneCare to barf. Everything seems to be working just fine now. Fingers crossed, anyway.
