I recently installed a key stroke logger software called “personal inspector” on my computer. I was trying to uninstall it, not knowing i need to manually quit the program first, I just went to remove programs and tried to uninstall it. control panel told me that this software is already uninstalled and asked me if I want to remove the icon from the programs list, and I accidentally said yes. the problem is the program still exists. I went online and read some forums on how to remove it. the solutions presented do far require me to stop the process of the program through task manager, THEN uninstall it from control panel. the problem is now it doesn’t show up in my programs list under control panel anymore.
Can anyone tell me how I can add it back to my programs list, or somehow make windows realize that its there?

go to task manager , if the task still exists note its exact name , then end the process and run it for run in the start menu , then restart the computer . if the program exists it will show up in the add/remove programs list,,,,,
else
start the system configuration utility ( run- ‘msconfig’) and check if it shows anything about the program
even if this doesnot work remove the folder from program files directly but i would not recommend this option since it can further increase the problem already created by the program
if anything above doesnot work , i am afraid the only option is to format your computer if you want to remove the program by hook or by crook

your question is very confusing. exactly tell what you want to do.
as far as i got it is that you want to uninstall the programme instead of removing. If yes, have you tried to check the recycle bin, if it is lying there you can restore and then carry on with the process. try it..
