Roxio Software Plaguing My Computer

Is there a reputable program that removes all Roxio remants from your computer?

I never use Roxio Easy CD Creator... I use a program called CDBurnerXPPro....

Well I bought a Blackberry a few months back and installed thee Blackberry Desktop Software. With it came bundled a Roxio Media Manager... The software was junk from day 1... It took 9 tries to install the Roxio software appropriately... After installation, it crashed several times. Upon rebooting my computer, I discovered that several Roxio processes were running in the background and it would cause my Windows Explorer to crash (NOT RESPOND) and my computer would reboot to my deskstop wall paper with NO ICONS and NO TASKBAR... I would have to reboot into safe mode, try and disable the start-up processes through START > RUN > MSCONFIG, etc....

For awhile I was able to avoid this most annoying problem. A few weeks ago it resurfaced and I had to re-boot into safe mode maybe 5 or 6 times after unsuccessfully trying to remove all roxio elements from my computer....

Today I'm trying to rip an Audio CD of mine using CDBurnerXPPro (which I've used for several years) and as I'm loading that application my computer is trying to install more Roxio software (Media Manager). I'm getting really frustrated....

How do I completely rid my computer of Roxio software and how do I stop it from trying to install itself when I use CDBurnerXPPro?

I'm on Windows XP Home edition

I own Crap Cleaner & Reg Cleaner.... I cannot uninstall any Roxio software via Add/Remove programs, the program is listed there but it doesn't give me an uninstall option.... I tried removing some registry entries with Reg Cleaner and i would get errors upon start up after a reboot, so I had to restore those registry items... I've deleted all Roxio related folders yet this crap remains on my computer....

Several Roxio related services were starting each time I rebooted my computer, despite nothing being checked off in the Startup Tag in MSCONFIG... I've attached a screenshot of those services which are no longer running.... Please see the attachments....

This is by far the worst software I've ever encountered aside from deliberate spyware.... The Roxio company should be ashamed of itself... The software just embeds itself in your computer and runs all sorts of processes unbeknownst to the operator....

Any help here is greatly appreciated.... Thank you.

 

Revo uninstaller removes all traces of programs:

Thanks, I utilized the program, have not tried rebooting yet but I will return here if the problem persists..

 

Lastnight i started using COMODO System Cleaner http://system-cleaner.comodo.com/ and it removed a lot of stuff in my registry that ccleaner missed plus it sped up my system.

 

Fellas,

The Revo Uninstaller seems to have rid my computer of Roxio Easy CD Creater ONLY but not Roxio Media Manager....

As I mentioned in my initital post, I cannot uninstall it via Add/Remove programs because it appears grayed out and doesn't have an option to do anything with where it's listed...

It also does not appear in the Uninstall Menu of programs like CCleaner....

How can I get this thing off my computer? It's trying to install itself each time I utilize CDBurnerXPPro which is legit freeware that I've used for years, I use that Software to Rip Audio CD's, and now I'm afraid to use it at the risk of Roxio Media Manager installing itself again (I have to sit there clicking <cancel> like 5-6 times as it keeps prompting to install)....
