Total Care PC Protection beta version is expected to drop today and to enter in competition with OneCare, Falcon and Norton 360. Like the products of Microsoft, McAfee and Symantec, AOL's Total Care
will be a security suite, bundling various protection solutions into one. Initially, the beta version will be released exclusive to AOL members but it will be made available as a premium service outside of AOL when in final form.
"The Internet is a confusing hostile place for anyone using a PC today," says Andrew Weinstein, AOL spokesperson. Total Care, he says, is designed to make PC security simple and hassle-free.
Total Care is patched together with technologies from partners as McAfee, Gurus2go and MarkMonitor. It will be a conglomerate of anti-virus, spyware, anti-phishing, firewall and will feature PC and remote PC back-up options, identity protection, rollback functions and telephone technical support. AOL make with this initiative its first steps into the general public's security market, as it has provided security solutions only to inhouse members so far.
As AOL has reportedly lost an estimated 850.000 members last year the releasing of Total Care is a welcoming initiative that aims at regaining some of the lost users or broadening the 24.5 global audience. So far AOL has not disclosed a pricing strategy for Total Care PC Protection.
