Live care sucks

[Guest Joe T]

I changed providers to Qwest. The install disk "recomended" installing Live

care. I did and now my computer takes FOREVER to sign on!!

I can go get a beer, have a danish, brush my teeth, use the toliet and it

still is not signed on.

Uninstall in add/remove freezes my computer. Where to go to uninstall this

pile of....?

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:

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.

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