Windows Live One Care?

Hello,
I recently installed WLOC Beta 1.5 and all went well for a few days.
Lately my computer has been locking up (can't access ctrl alt del) and my
only option is to reset. Most of the lockups result from accessing the
internet (the WLOC site is one of them) and I have tried to send a message to
the WLOC team but can't send it before I crash. I have quit all other apps
(ZoneAlarm, Ashampoo AntiSpyware, Ewido Anti-Malware, etc) and WLOC is the
only app running virus, firewall, etc. The problem still occurs. I have tried
switching to Opera browser but it locks up almost immediately on opening a
internet site.
I have done Memtest (no problems after 20 passes), Spyware, Virus scans and
it finds nothing except a few cookies.
I hesitate at uninstalling WLOC (without some more advice) as I have read a
few horror stories from people who have tried that.
When I installed WLOC it didn't suggest uninstalling anything security wise
I had already installed on my PC and installed and started up without any
errors.
I know I probably can't rule out any hardware but it seems judging from
other usres, that WLOC does cause this kind of lock up.
My computer is a Intel P4 3.2 ghz with 2 gig ram Windows XP Pro Sp2 (fully
updated).
I live in hope that someone out there has come across this problem and knows
a remedy (other than reinstall XP).
Thanks

No takers to my question yet?.
I have uninstalled WLOC Beta but haven't tested any internet sites yet to
see if I get the same lock up.
This morning my PC locked up 5 times in about 10 minutes so I decided to
uninstall the most likely source of the problem first.
I will post back to advise if I have had success or not.
I think programs that try to be everything (ie anti-spam, anti-virus and
firewall). BitDefender was the same but it only locked me out of the internet
not my whole machine!!
