Install error: must remove dotnet2.0beta to continue, but I cannot find or get rid of it

Question
-
I have had OneCare on several computers for 9 months, but one of them recently had a problem where Onecare stopped working and I tried to reinstall it, but now I get an error message that I must "Remove Conflicting Programs" and it lists only "DotNet2.0Beta". When I click on "Remove", it gives me an error message that "Onecare installation could not complete. ONecare encountered an error. Please contact support for assistance with correcting this issue. Error ID: 0021-
80004005"
There is no such program listed when I try to Add/Remove Programs through the control panel. I have downloaded and installed SP1 Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework and that doesn't help. I also went through the repair in setup for .NET 2.0. What do I do now?

In Control Panel, the entry would be "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2"
If that entry is not present, and a repair of .Net Framework 2.0 didn't resolve the problem, please contact support.
