No solution, but a suggestion. If you use Drive Imaging you can
avoid all these issues. I never install a new/untested application
unless I take a system image first. Along with that it helps to put
all your user data ( Docs, Mail...) on a separate partition so you
can recover/restore a previous image without affecting your data.
On OneCare, you're probably faced with a manual removal. The
files/folders aren't that big an issue but removing Services and the
Registry keys/values could be a problem. I guess after 2-months
of use System Restore wouldn't help you out. You might want to
visit the OneCare forums, maybe somebody there has a detailed
process to remove it.

Okay new install... I have an idea...
...how about a trial of Microsoft's Live OneCare ?
2 months later I need to uninstall it AND
Ist problem : Doesn't uninstall properly
2nd problem : LiveCare professional support (oooh how fancy are we) tell
me
to use a special OneCare removal tool.
what's the BLOODY point of creating a program that doen't remove itself
fully especially when it's YOUR operating system ???
3rd problem : Remants of OneCare still here like winssnotify in msconfig
and
the native XP firewall can't be turned on as it is still set to group
policy.
Does anyone know how to turn off GROUP POLICY ?
(The blinking idiot who I am getting support from just referred me to
re-use
the uninstall tool)
All that remains is for Microsoft to as me if I be going out to buy a copy
of this fantastic program which I can't live without.
Enough said.
