[:(] I understand that One Care can be a bitch to get rid off [:(] [>:)] If all the great solutions provided by Ivan don't work for you try the following: [:D] First create a restore point - Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> System Restore. S o you can undo anything that may go wrong. Start --> Run, type MSCONFIG and hit Enter. Click on the Startup tab. Uncheck all the programs that seem to be related to OneCare. Uncheck all virus, spyware <http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_remove_windows_onecare.html#> and malware programs also. Save the changes. Restart your computer <http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_remove_windows_onecare.html#> . If the above steps did not resolve your problem, try the following: Start --> Run, type SERVICES.MSC and hit Enter. Stop and set to Manual or Disable all services you don't need. See Services Guide for Windows XP <http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm> <http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm> for a handy reference on what you can and cannot disable here. One more step: Start --> Run, type REGEDIT and hit Enter. Then in Registry Editor click Edit --> Find and search for all words related to OneCare, then delete all matching keys. Now you can delete the OneCare files from your hard drive <http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_remove_windows_onecare.html#> manually. Perhaps using the Search Facilty would be useful. Don't forget to re-enable your Virus and Spyware utilities. I am sorry if this looks complicated.
