Cannot uninstall program

I have windows 2000. About a year ago I install a free spam filter program called IHateSpam. I was not very efficient. Recently I purchased Norton Internet Security. Before installing it I removed IHateSpam. I appeared to uninstall just fine. However, when I went to my wifes desktop I found that IHateSpam is still installed. How can I remove it?

It may just be that it did not remove the shortcut.

I wish it were as straightforward as a shortcut deletion. Unfortunately, the program installs itself into Microsoft outlook on all desktops setup for the computer. The windows uninstall removed it from my desktop outlook and did not uninstall it from my wifes outlook. For example, she still has a toolbar that provides the various email spam options.

I try the downloads that rjfvillarosa suggested.

Have you tried logging onto the other users and see if it is still in the uninstall list?
