Click potato - How to uninstall?

    Hi, I was searching for a site where you can watch movies for free. I checked out a few but soon realised that they were not actually 'free'' at all.

    I've now discovered an icon on my taskbar that links to a site called ClickPotato (supposedly FREE movies site).

    My problem now is that I cannot uninstall ClickPotato - I'm running Vista and have tried the usual uninstall via the Control Panel - I'm getting a message that tells me that I 'do not have the right permissions to carry out this task ....contact an administrator etc....' - I am the administrator of my Pc and the settings confirm this - Is ClickPotato able to block my uninstall?

    I have McAfee with all the bells and whistles but I'm guessing I must have allowed ClickPotato through somehow.

    I haven't seen any adverse effects yet from having this ClickPotato thing but its just peeing me off that I can't get rid of it!:mad:

    And ideas much appreciated, thanks.
