| 454349 | 2006-05-12 05:39:00 | Got a buddy who accidently downloaded the Windows Live One Care Update and now regrets it badly. Got any ides to remove it? It doesn't allow itself to show in "Add/Delete Programs", and all I can find in the SpyBot Uninstall info is the uninstaller, but not the actual program. Where does this piece of junk hide anyway? :badpc: (what I'd like to do to Mr. Bill for this!) |

| 454350 | 2006-05-12 05:43:00 | Does the uninstaller work? Just run it . You don't need to go through the Add/Remove system . Of course if the uninstaller doesn't work, report it to Microsoft as not being compliant with the standards required for software to use the Microsoft Windows logos . :p |

| 454351 | 2006-05-12 05:54:00 | I tried this first: Follow these steps to remove Windows Live OneCare from your computer. To uninstall Windows Live OneCare: 1. Click Start, then click Control Panel. 2. Under Pick a category, click Add or Remove Programs. 3. Under Pick a task, click Remove a program. 4. In the Currently installed programs list, click Windows Live OneCare, and then click Remove. ....this is from M$ themselves......and WLOC does not show in the Add/Remove Programs area at all. There is also no reference to an uninstall anywhere, even though Spybot found it...I just don't want to remove the official uninstallaer. I tried msconfig and killed all things that looked like it might be a culprit...nothing broke afterwards, but the WLOC is still there tying up everything and generally messing with the settings all over the place. |

| 454353 | 2006-05-12 06:11:00 | Its EVIL. 1. Start --> Run, type MSCONFIG and hit Enter. 2. Click on the Startup tab. Uncheck all the programs that seem to be related to OneCare Live. Uncheck all spyware and malware programs also. Save the changes. 3. Restart your computer 4. If these steps do not resolve your problem, try this instead: Start --> Run, type SERVICES.MSC and hit Enter. 5. Stop and set to Manual or Disable all services you don't need. See Services Guide for Windows XP for a handy reference on what you can and cannot disable here. 6. One more step: Start --> Run, type REGEDIT and hit Enter. 7. Then in Registry Editor click Edit --> Find and search for all words related to OneCare Live, then delete all matching keys. 8. Now you can delete the OneCare files from your hard drive manually. |

| 454354 | 2006-05-12 06:12:00 | It that is in fact an uninstaller for the OCL thing, find it and run it. I wasn't suggesting uninstalling the uninstaller. (Not until it has done what it is supposed to do, anyway).;) | Graham L (2) | ||
