Why won't this Best Buy PC App craplet uninstall?

I don't appreciate the fact that when I try to uninstall this program as an administrator it remains on other accounts, and when I uninstall it from those it pops up again if I create a new user account. Why is this necessary and how do I get rid of this program completely?

I don't think it's Archie that's on my computer. It's just some advertisement for Best Buy that I don't want on my computer.

"archie" is the utility that Best Buy uses to put such ads on the computer.

Archie has nothing to do with it and doesn't even remotely apply in this situation. Archie is NOT the utility that puts Best Buy pc app on the computers. They come packaged that way. Archie is put on DISPLAY model computers only. Yes the pc app has to be uninstalled on each user account and there is a thread on here somewhere where someone posted how they got rid of it for good. I'll try to find it an link it.

When stuff like this happens, I simply lock and load a virtual m-16, parachute into "my computer" and spray anything that says Best Buy.
