Getting Heath Insurance for Your Computer?

Getting Heath Insurance For Your Computer? What's up with Microsoft One Care Program

I've had it, you've had it, we all know somebody who had it, a nasty virus, spyware, or hacker invading your precious computer, and then what? The aftermath of a virus attack or system crash leaves us to our doom of having to rebuild our favorites list, video/music library, and attempting to find and install all those casino games all over again.

Here's a thought, why not buy your computer health insurance? We do it for our cars (Extended Warranty Programs), we do it for electronics (Replacement Programs); we do it for our pets (Pet Health Insurance) so why can't we do the same for our computers.

Microsoft One Care Program has answered the call to that need. The One Care Program gives you:

Anti-Virus Protection
Anti-Spyware Protection
Firewall Software
Performance Tune-ups
Backup and Restore Software

One Care does come at a cost just like anything else but I think it is worth it and here is why. You get all of the coverage I mentioned for a flat fee of $49.99, but here is where it blows all other products of the market. You can install it on up to three computers for that price and you get live phone support. Most people I know have a desktop and a laptop, and if you purchase a virus scanning software you would need to buy the product twice. (That is, If you follow the licensing rule of one install per purchased copy)

With Microsoft One Care, you have the ease of usability, and it forces you to do the task you should be doing anyway. Like backing up your files. You change the oil in your car every 3 months as suggested, so why not take care of your computer the same way. You don't realize the value until a nasty virus or hacker comes in and wipes out your files. Then you realize a computer crash is just as bad as you loosing your wallet.

Take it from me, even though I am not a huge fan of Microsoft, I fell they got it right on this one, I suggest this product to my clients, and I am also a One Care user myself.
