Lost program on ADD/Remove list

I have version 6 of Iolo system mechanic installed and am trying to update to ver 7. I am supposed to uninstall ver 6 before installing version 7. My current ver6 does not appear in my Add/Remove list. It is functioning and appears in a folder on my c drive. There is no uninstall .exe in the folder. Any suggestions on how to uninstall if it is not on the Add/Remove list?

update for Iolo is new spyware and virus detection and minor software changes. That you do from their program. Upgrades from version to version requires you to uninstall the older version and installing the new version. The procedure is explained at the bottom of the page you linked to. I also received an email from Iolo suggesting that I try reinstalling version 6 from my cd and then see if it reappears on my Add/Remove list. Unfortunately it will not allow me to reinstall ver 6.0.00 because I had already updated to 6.0.10.0 and they say you cannot install an older version on top of a newer version.

I've run out of ideas - sorry - I had Iolo and never bumped into this issue. As you 
are in contact with them that may be you best route. Good luck.
