AND:
Just caught one other thing. Alcohol starts a service at startup. If you run Serviwin and look at services. its StarWind or something like that. You can also just do a Find in Serviwin for "Alcohol". You should check if they start any programs as well.. I would try this even before trying an uninstall
If Alcohol runs any programs at application startup, suppress it.
Disable the Alcohol Service. Don't let it start

- Download Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel
- After installs, open Control Panel, look for Startup and double click to open
- Look at each line item under each tab in the Startup control panel you just opened. Anything there from Alochol? Might be zero, one or more items. If you see any, uncheck the box. This will keep them from autostarting on startup.
Disable the Alcohol Service. Don't let it start
- Now start Serviwin
- Display Services
- Find the StarWind service (or similiar name) from Alcohol
- Highlight the line and right click. Change Startup Type to Disabled
- Close Serviwin. Try rebooting
