Now that the utility install cleanup is no longer available, what are my options to uninstall a program that cannot be uninstalled using the standard method?

I have three programs which cannot be uninstalled using the standard method (Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs); they are Adobe Reader 9.3.4, update of Java 6 and Java 6 update 24. What are my options for removing these programs from my system? I did a search on the internet and all the answers say to use the standard method, or they point to the Microsoft Installer Cleanup (msicuu2.exe) utility. I found sites that claim to have the software available for download, but I am wary of loading the software of a site, that I don't know.

Revo Uninstaller (free): http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

The MS Installer Cleanup Utility is available at http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , that it is a safe to download site from.  Based on warnings from Microsoft on the cleanup utility, however, you might well advised to make a backup disk image or at least a backup of the registry before using it.  C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT is an easy to use free registry backup tool.
