What does it say (error message) when you click on add/remove button.

are all of the files and folders for PC Inspector still located in your Program Files Directory?

One way to get rid of it might be to reinstall it, then uninstall it.

let us know how it works it.

Now I know why it is free ware. Its rubish. I tried to reinstall it and it asked me if I wanted to uninstall it, no option to reinstall. But when I clicked uninstall it does not uninstall.

things like that happen when you do not use the uninstall program the software comes with. You bypassed that by using "add&remove" and that damages the files so that it can't uninstall. Go to web site and reinstall as those above mentioned and then use the programs uninstaller to remove it.

I have deleted the folder in Program Files and run a registry cleaner but it still appears in the add remove programs list.

Or you can try also the uninstaller pro 2004. That works very well.
