majors] will need to catch up to us!" As of April 2008, Windows Live OneCare has passed the VB100 test under Windows Vista SP1 Business Edition. As of August 2008, Windows Live OneCare placed 14th out of 16 anti-virus products in on-demand virus detection rates. On the other hand, as of May 2009, Windows Live OneCare placed 2nd in a proactive/retrospective performance test conducted by AV-Comparatives. AV-Comparatives.org, the test issuer, denotes that it had "very few false alarms, which is a very good achievement." The publisher also points out that false positives can cause as much harm as genuine infections, and furthermore, anti-virus scanners prone to false alarms essentially achieve higher detection scores. Community Revival After Windows Live OneCare was discontinued, end-users of the product could no longer install Windows Live OneCare due to the installer checking Microsoft OneCare's site for updates. This resulted in the installation giving an error message 'Network problems are preventing Windows Live OneCare Installation from continuing at this time'. A YouTuber by the name 'Michael MJD' posted a review of the software to his second channel 'mjdextras' after finding it at a thrift-store but was unable to get the software installed due to the above error; MJD Community member 'Cobs Server Closet' requested a copy of the installation media to fix this issue. As of October 20th 2020, 'Cobs Server Closet' posted to their website that they'd successfully recreated a functioning version of the installer, allowing end-users owning existing installation media to reinstall the software. This project was named 'OneCare Rewritten'. While the OneCare Rewritten software did allow successful installation of OneCare, many of the notable features such as OneCare Circles and built-in Backup feature remain non-functional as a result of being dependant on Microsoft Windows Live OneCare servers.
