Boot in Safe Mode and delete them.

Try Microsoft's Install Cleanup Tool

Okay the Microsoft's Install Cleanup Tool did NOT work becuase as stated above, it does not show up on the uninstall list. I went into safe mod... and I cant delete it. I go to delte it, it says it's in use by nodshex.dll. So I click search on my task manager look it up and it says that program is in use by my OS. So I kill Explorer.exe and guess what? It's still in use by my task manager! It attaches itself to every file so I cant delete it.

Close what?

You will find that these AV things burrow themselves deeply in the registry and the start-up sequences. To begin with, hit ALT-CTRL-DEL and see whether you can see the AV program running there; if it does, kill it. Then, in regedit, search for all instances with the name of nod32 and delete them all, left and right window; that can be a lot of entries. As last run msconfig, check everything there for that *$@# ! and untick them . Then re-boot and, as it will not be running any more if you did that before well, you can erase its folder in \Prgram Files.

Davec's unlocker: you say "Yeah I also have tried that. It's the problem when I try to close it,..." This should not ask for closing something; check the way-of-proceeding on that page. Find the program folder, right-click, if necessary kill the process, unlock it and then erase the whole thing. Run msconfig and regedit and reboot.
