"It's not news to Microsoft that many, if not most, average Windows users have 
gripes about their PC experiences.  

 In response, the software company is unveiling on Friday a new 
subscription-based computer fix-it service, aimed at automatically patching 
security holes, blocking viruses and spyware, and generally automating the 
chores of maintaining a computer's health. 

 Dubbed Windows OneCare, the service will draw in part on existing tools like 
the company's anti-spyware software, as well as on basic PC management 
functions inside Windows. But it will add a more powerful firewall, ongoing 
antivirus protection, and the right to get a live support person on the phone 
without paying extra, the company said."
