'xupiter' Has a file in 'C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files'
You can delete it ; That may help you use the 'engine' You prefur.
Also check all your 'program files' the and 'ADD/REMOVE'.
I was able to get totaly rid of it that way.

PS: Also remember it's illegal for anything tobe placed on your computer, you don't give permisions too.
'xupiter' maybe place their program inside anther to get that permision; That's illegal too.
