If a program won't uninstall, it's either a very poorly written program, it's spyware, or a virus

1. Conduct a virus scan using either AVG, TrendMicro, Panda, Kaspersky or other Anti-Virus

(I wouldn't recommend Norton/Symantec as it's very hard on system resources)

2. Remove/quarantine any infected files found during the scan

3. Conduct a spyware scan using Anti-Spyware/Malware (MalwareBytes is a decent program.

4. Remove any instances of spyware found during the scan

5. Remove & delete the folder the program resides in

6. Conduct a registry scan (Highly recommend Jouni Vuorio's as it's very small, clean, automatic, and makes a backup). Remove any old registry keys

Doing these steps should get rid of the stubborn program.
