What is OneCare?

On the 31st May 2006, Microsoft released Windows Live OneCare, an all-in-one piece of software to tune-up your PC bundled with an Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware and Firewall.

Since 2009, OneCare was shutdown, along with the servers required to install and properly use the product. This brought it to a halt until now.

YouTuber MJD picked up a copy of the software from a thrift store and attempted to install it which you can view here. This however, didn't go as planned due to the servers being down, preventing the installation.

After requesting a copy of the disc, I was able to recreate an installer, bringing back OneCare from the dead.

OneCare Rewritten allows users who still have their discs to install OneCare for nostalgic purposes to re-experience a blast from the past.

OneCare Rewritten

So why does this project exist? This project exists because personally I disagree with planned obsolescence and reverse engineering is fascinating to me.

Being able to take a look at old software past its 'use by date' creates a nostalgic experience and can be fun to play with, to see how software has developed over time.

Why isn't the installer OneCare themed?

Originally, it was. However, further looking into Microsofts terms prohibts any re-use or reproduction of their material, punishable by law. I don't wish to be sued by Microsoft and so replaced the materials in the installer with some photo's of my servers, keeps it 'techy'.

System Requirements:

  • Your OneCare installation medium (OneCare Disc)
  • Microsoft .Net 4.0 (Runtime or full installation)
  • Windows Live ID Assistant
  • Windows Vista 32-Bit OR Windows Vista 64-Bit
OneCare Installer

Is it free?

While the OneCare Rewritten installer itself is free, the actual product, Microsoft Windows Live OneCare is a paid product. The OneCare Rewritten project is nothing more than a rebuilt installer for OneCare to continuue installation regardless of Microsoft Servers being available.

This means if you do not own functional installation medium, this software will NOT install OneCare.
