just simply uninstall using add/remove programs

it doesn't show up in add/remove

Appears its not listed in painbird's add/remove. It's also common for these 'uninstallers' to add more than they actually remove so i dont recommend using them

Your log is clean. A scan with Ad-Aware should remove any wild tangent components just fine.

The page linked below talks about wild tangent components you may be able to find manually.
