Or you can go into Task Manager and kill the app from there. What I also did was to make it think I wanted to do some action and then hit CANCEL. The program crashed and then with the app being permanently killed, you can uninstall it easily without a reboot.

Scott,
how long it takes to complete the uninstall? it took more than 3 hrs on mine, and since I left when I come back it was black out. I tried 3 time, the task never got done.
