You could either run a registry search or use a third party program. CCleaner has
the option to remove a program from the A/R list or uninstall it. It's in the Tools
section.
There's another freeware app called Add Remove Pro that gives you that option, and
I know there are others. Just run a Google for it.

There's another section where you have the option to 'show all' installed programs,
not just those listed in A/R. Has the program actually been uninstalled?

AddRemovePro does not list the file even when asking to list all files. The file
still appears in Windows ADD/Remove list. But will not remove the file.

The easiet way to get rid of it (and any other reference to it), would be to run
a registry search for Popcorn and delete all instances that come up.
Other than that, programs listed in A/R are in this registry location. You'd need
to scroll through all the subkeys and locate the relevant DisplayName value in the
right pane and delete it.
