cannot uninstall pdflite!

Keeps complaining saying close the web browser, but the web browser is not open.
So I have to use task manager to kill the uninstall.

May 14, 2013 - PDFlite can be used to read any PDF file. ... Cannot uninstall program unless you put your computer to safe mode. Summary. Just don't do it.

Seems lots of folks can uninstall it either.

I use Chrome mostly.
I looked into Chrome extensions but dont see anything PDF related.

Revo Uninstaller Download
I used revo uninstaller and got rid of it, 383 files.
Running Revo, still brings up the failing 'shut down your browsers' to which I ran task manager again to kill pdflite uninstaller, then revo finished the job. Also interesting is when Revo was getting ready to delete those files, Avast popped up and said 383 files which used to be associated with PDFLite where no longer needed and a waste of space.

I think PDFLite deliberately makes an uninstaller which does not work.
I also ran ADWCleaner and JRT and they found PDF malware type references.

JRT mentions removing Chrome extensions, looking at before and after, under tools, the same 3 extensions are still there in the list, so must be hidden different kind of extensions in Chrome.

Revo got rid of it, I just displayed the earlier scan results of ADWCleaner and JRT tools.

I tried to install geek uninstaller, but Avast stops the install says it is malware. Seems most everything is bundled with malware.

So went here cnet - Thank you for downloading GeekUninstaller from CNET Download.com
seemed to be unencumbered with crudware, but when running it instantly says, new version, and loads it's installer web page, same one that has malware in.

Your link Download | GeekUninstaller is malware, Avast stops the installer dead, as I said in the above post.
So I went looking for another link, CNET takes you back to that malware download,
