Programs disappear from the Config panel Add/Remove window
From time to time, some (few) external programs (which are not part of Window) disappear from the list of the programs and functionalities in the Add/Remove window in the Configuration panel. They were visible in this window immediately after their installation, but disappeared sometime later. I didn't find any adequate help in the various forums and support sites I visited. KB266668 for instance concerns (if I understand well) a general failure in the Add/Remove window and not a specific missing program in the list. I haven't tried Fix-It.
I am therefore unable to uninstall these pieces of software, as I currently need to move one of these programs from one hard disk to another.
The concerned PC has an i7 4771 CPU, 16 MBytes memory and runs Windows 7 Professional 64 bits, Norton Internet Security and also PC Tune-up (which has been acquired recently by AVG).
I would be interested in understanding the origin of this strange behaviour and finding a way to restore the missing lines in the Add/Remove window.
Thank you for your ideas and help,
