Installer comes up every time I boot up

I tried out a trial version of System Cleaner 5 by Pointstone. I then ran the uninstaller. I don't think it's malware since I have used their shredder before with no problems. Each time I boot up my laptop the installer comes back up. I can't seem to find it in the HJT to remove it. The program itself is gone from the program files but the installer keeps coming up. Can anyone help? Here is the HJT log.
Thanks in advance,
Jim in WV

<SNIP> Admin: No need for a HJT log here

Click on Start->Run (or search) and type msconfig

Look in the Startup tab for any reference to it.

In addition to what Steve said, download and install the Windows installer cleanup utility. http://www.majorgeeks.com/Windows_In...ity_d4459.html Once its installed then find the entry to system cleaner and remove it from the list.

I tried but can not find any reference to it in msconfig. And . . .when I downloaded the program from Major Geeks it will not install because it can't find a needed script.
Alas, no progress so far but thanks for the suggestions!
Jim

What was the error message you recieved when you tried to install the Windows installer cleanup utility? Have you tried installing it from the built in administrator account instead of your own account?
