Hi josie123
OK, How are you with manually editing the registry?

There is a manual removal but it is done in the registry.

Let me know if you think you are comfortable doing this.

Hi josie123
Here are the instructions. If you have questions, then stop and come beck here and ask before going any farther.

Let me also say, that it is doing no harm in your add/remove list I believe it is a empty entry so it will not hurt to leave it there.

Manually Removing entries in the Add/Remove Programs List

Please note that this method should only be used if you can not uninstall the program normally through the Add/Remove Programs window. You should always attempt to delete the program through a supplied uninstall application or by using the Add/Remove Programs.

If you still can not uninstall the program, you may manually remove entries from your Add/Remove programs list by following these steps:

Click Start, then click on Run and type regedit in the Open field. Then press enter on your keyboard.

Navigate to the Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

You do this by clicking on the plus sign next to each key in the path to expand the path below it. For example you will click on the plus next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, and finally Uninstall.

Right click on the the Uninstall key and select the Export option.
This will open up a dialog box where you can select a directory and name for the file you will export to. Make the "Save in" field set to your Desktop and in the "File name" field enter uninstall_programs and press the Save button. This will create a backup of your Uninstall registry key on your desktop in case of a problem.

Now that we have a backup created, we will proceed with deleting the entries for the programs that we would no longer like to appear in your Add/Remove Programs list.
As long as the Uninstall key is expanded you will see below it a listing of programs. Search for the program you would no longer like to appear in the Add/Remove Programs list and right click on the name of the program and then click on the Delete key. When it asks for confirmation, click on the Yes key.

Once the key is deleted, exit regedit, go back into your Add/Remove Programs option in the Control Panel and see if the program is now gone from the listing.

Hi josie123
OK That's good to hear.
Glad I could help out.

You can delete any tools you were asked to download and the files/folders or logs they created, There will be newer versions if ever needed again any way.

Click Start>Run in the run box copy and paste or type ComboFix /u then hit Enter to uninstall ComboFix and remove the files/folders it created.

dss.exe

This folder.
