I use avg for anti virus stuff, as that seems to not install unwanted
garbage, However I normally just delete the directory of the programme
that is unwanted if I have uninstall issues.  If I have problems like
this,  You could perhaps run regedit,  and remove stuff from the
registry if you can find anything relevant.

It seems though that its part of the package of anti intrusion so
watches for trojans etc.

Of course this could simply add to the argument as to why people here
use Linux and not windows.
