Yes. I quite agree. Can you try and uninstall it in Safe Mode? Perhaps it is
freezing because of its running services. If the uninstaller won't run in
Safe Mode, maybe try manually shutting down its services first
(services.msc).

Otherwise, here are some support links:

Re: Live care sucks

I searched Google and found a "Live Care Removal Tool " and it worked. Thanks.

Re: Live care sucks

Just one more thing, now since I have removed it, it still asks for my
username and password. I hit cancel and I go on without it. How do I remove
this annoying sign in pop up?

Re: Live care sucks

What anti-virus and/or third-party firewall was installed before you
installed OneCare? Did you uninstall both of them before installing
OneCare?

Re: Live care sucks

I've heard the same complaint from other MSN Partner subscribers, Joe. If
you want to use OneCare, best to purchase it and install the full standalone
version.

Re: Live care sucks

You'd think so, wouldn't you? Sadly, such is not the case.
