TuneUp Utilities Uninstall Impossible

What a waste of time to have to do this, just a real PITA for no reason.

I cannot uninstall this. It doesn't show up in my list of programs (but it does keep popping up on my screen, pressuring me to buy it). I tried downloading the remover tool, but that didn't work either. Gets an error satying "A module could not be unregistered. Module: TUTuningindex
Action 2
Error 8002801C (-2147319780
Error accessing the OLE registry

And to top it off, when I tried to ask forhelp using AVG's chat, it wouldn't load properly. Frustrating!

I have read the article. The problem is that the program doesn't show in the list of programs, so I cannot uninstall it!
