HOW DO I UNINSTALL PROGRAMS I DIDN'T PUT ON MY PC ?

I am running Win XP Sp3 / 32 bit - 2 mg of Memory and plenty of hard drive
(I have 3).
Using Windows Defender / MS Security Essentials / System Mechanic

I have several programs located in the control panel - "Add/Remove" section
which
I have no idea what they are or how they got there.

When I click on them there is no option to remove or repair. So I assume
they were
put there without my permission and would like to get rid of them.

Is there a site that tell one if it should be removed and if so, how to do
it without using
a site's scanning software. I would prefer to do it myself so I know it's
removed without
leaving any mousetracks behind from their software.

i.e.,the files are

AOLIcon / Disc 2 Phone / Doc Proc / Doc Proc Q Folder / Educate U / ELIcon /
MCU

MS Visual C++2005 (JB973923) / mProSafe / Open MG Secure Module / Web Reg

Web Folders XP / Windows Presentation Foundation

Have you even bothered Googling for the files and removal information?

That's step 1.

YES, I Googled and Binged "before" I posted the question.
The only replies I found were site that wanted me to download their
software.
I don't do that. I prefer to do it manually. I like to keep my hard drive
clean
and not have them leaving mousetracks left behind.

What's Step 2 ?

Can anyone else help me please ?

If these unknown programs were recently installed you might try System
Restore to an earlier time.

I have never been bothered by mousetracks <g>
