    If, in Windows 8.1, I delete a program in the way described yet it still shows on the program list how do I remove it? On clicking uninstall it takes me to a web site and downloads an "uninstall" program.    My computer indicates a "do not enter" sign and says, "FindingDiscount Uninstall...exe is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous."

    Thanks.

    My problem is that I have run uninstall but now I want to reinstall it keeps asking me to uninstall, the install and repair options are greyed out.
