I also update and scan using malwarebytes and spybot each week. To remove programs that I no longer want I use REVO Uninstaller. It is a very thorough program. MajorGeeks and FileHippo are very cool with letting you download these for free. (As always you can pay to get the full version).

Ps Fool Zero. If you download and install RevoUninstaller and remove your old Java then you can install the latest Java.
