How do you remove all of the components of Microsoft OneCare? I now want to use another Antivirus solution but it will not load since it senses that MS OneCare was previously on the system.

From Microsoft.com

To uninstall Windows OneCare:
Click Start, then click Control Panel.
Under Pick a category, click Add or Remove Programs.
Under Pick a task, click Remove a program.
In the Currently installed programs list, click Windows OneCare, and then click Remove.

Note:
You will be prompted to restart your computer. You must restart your computer in order to completely uninstall Windows OneCare.

end from Microsoft

Assuming you've done the above and it still doesn't work the next step would be to return to a System Restore point at a date before you installed One Care.

Also, MS has a Support Contact for their One Care product.
