How do I uninstall QT Plugin

Some-one downloaded QT Plugin to the PC it has created a folder with two files qtplugin.ocx and qttask.exe. I also now have the permenant Q on the task bar (an unwanted additional process using memory). There is no uninstall option in control panel add remove progs. No uninstall in the quicktime folder. I would like to remove the lot but not just by deleteing the folder. I know I can disable the plug in in IE properties but I want complete removal including registry keys etc gone as well. Does Apple / QT provide an uninstaller or how do i go about it.

The uninstaller was unvise32qt exe in C:\Windows if that was deleted the add/remove programs control panel for QT would not work. And where QT is not in the add/remove program control panel it was removed from the registry.
You may still be able to remove the program by going to start>programs>QuickTime>Uninstall quicktime. Or if this article applies http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;177472
Otherwise you have to remove the program manually.

Is there a way to remove the Quicktime browser add-on without entirely uninstalling Quicktime? I need QT for iTunes, but I don't want the plugin messing up my browser...
