Control panel add/remove programs

[Jennifer]

I have attempted to remove a few different programs
trying both the add/remove programs in control panel and
using unistall feature of the program. Doing so causes
the CPU usage to max out at 100% and the task does not
get completed. An error does not appear but I have to
reboot the computer. An attempt to end task results
in "not responding" message. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Try the free tool "My Uninstaller" (an alternative to Add-Remove applet).
