I tried re-installing and then uninstalling the program
and it does not work. I noticed that when I re-install the
program it can be, let's just say 8MB, but once I try to
uninstall, it doesn't disappear from the ADD/REMOVE
program, but it goes down to about 3MB. I suppose those
are orphaned files. Is there any program that can get rid
of that, like Windows Cleaner or .....?

>The install.log/uninstall.log usually contains the
uninstallation information about a program. When you
remove a program from Add/Remove Programs, the log files
come into play and remove the corresponding software
entries from the registry and the files in the hard disk.

>If the LOG files are missing, you may need to reinstall
the application again (in the same path) and then try a
clean uninstall again. In some cases, the application
might be removed, but the entries may still exist in the
Add/Remove Programs applet. Orphaned entries are usually a
result of a system restore rollback operation.
