Thank everyone very much for suggestions
On the other hands,
If I find the specific software installed under Window's Add/Remove
programs, but I don't find this software listed under Belarc Advisor, then is
there anything wrong wth this software?
Is the program in question working?
If so, then it's most likely something that Belarc Advisor simply
doesn't recognize. You might want to check for an update to Belarc. It
might also have been installed as a component or add-in along with some
other application that Belarc did recognize, but for which it doesn't
list separate components. Without the specific name of the program,
it'd be nearly impossible to tell.
If the program isn't working, then it might be that someone manually
deleted the program's folder and shortcuts via Windows Explorer, in lieu
of running the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet to properly
uninstall it. You might be able to clear such an entry by opening the
Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet and selecting each of the
pertinent removal choices, in turn. In some cases, you should get an
error message stating that the removal files are missing, and asking if
you'd like to delete the menu option. Otherwise, the entries can be
removed, if desired, via careful manual registry edits. *Do not* use an
automated registry "cleaner" for this: ridding yourself of this minor
cosmetic annoyance isn't worth the risk such products bring to the table.
