Deleting AOL junk

I just bought this new laptop a few days ago so I'm trying to get all the stuff I use loaded onto it. I downloaded AOL instant messenger and now there is an icon on my desktop, "Free AOL and Unlimited...". Needless to say, I want this gone. When I go to "Uninstall a Program" in the control panel, this program doesn't show up in the list...

So how do I find it to delete it?

Right click on it, and choose "Delete" unless the thing is imortal.
