How to uninstall iTunes and iTunes process

I'm running Photoshop and Dreamweaver and I need all the memory I can get. I've uninstalled iTunes, but there's this AppleMobileDeviceService.exe that keeps getting run every time I start my computer up. Sure, I can Ctrl-Alt-Del my computer every time I start it up, but that's getting old. How can I stop this process from starting up -- how can I completely uninstall iTunes?

See this link for removing iTunes and other components.

You may not want to uninstall Quicktime though.

Perhaps you missed it, but I've already uninstalled iTunes. Yesterday, I even went so far as to uninstall Quicktime. I've reset my computer and, although I believe I've uninstalled all the Apple software on my computer, there is still an AppleMobileDeviceService.exe running on my system, taking up 2k of memory. I need all the memory I have.

Apple Mobile Device is a separate progran, you need to uninstall that too to stop the process. See the link I posted.
