Here are some steps to uninstall Roxio.Hope this helps!

 

The following steps will completely remove any Roxio and Sonic software from your computer. 

Disable your startup applications using MSCONFIG. This will disable any unnecessary background or system tray applications from loading.

Go to Start -> Run. Type "msconfig" (without quotes) then click OK.

Select the Startup tab.

Click the Disable All button.

Click the Apply button, then click the OK button.

Click the Restart button.

To reverse this at the end of installation, go back into MSCONFIG and select Enable All and restart (that can be done once installation is complete). 

Note: Some anti virus/spyware programs may not be disabled using the steps listed above. You may need to check with your anti virus/spyware vendor on how to temporarily disable them.

Remove any Roxio and Sonic programs from Start > Control Panel >Add or Remove Programs.

For the step below you will need to show hidden files. This can be done by clicking on my computer then go up and click on Tools -> Folder Options -> View tab. Make sure show hidden folders is selected and click Apply. 

Delete these folders from your hard drive.
