Some processes (exe files) can get "SYSTEM" privileges, or something else,
then, can be difficult to delete them on XP.

If you know where they are installed (folder and files)(search them if you
donīt know) you can do a boot in Safe mode -> MSDOS, and go to the folder
(with <cd> command) and to delete the files with <del> command, get back
(<..cd>) and delete the folder wiht <rmdir> command.
Be sure to read the help of the commands line (help name) and if you are in
the correct folder BEFORE do the commands line to avoid errors, if you sre
NOT SURE how to do this is better DONīT do (in this place not have "undo").
