How to uninstall Forticlient 5.0.1.194

How can I remove Forticlient from my laptop?  A previous user installed it, presumably for a specific client project.  I do not require it and it is slowing start-up and potentially conflicts with my company's preferred anti-virus and security tools.  It's not listed in Programs and Features so can't simply be uninstalled.  There's no obvious uninstaller in the the Program file folders and I can't see any registry keys to delete either.  

 

I am running Windows 7

    FC is just a regular application and should be listed in the control panel.

    Sometimes this trick works if a program is not listed there:

    - reinstall the program, same version

    - uninstall using Control Panel

     

    Recently, when uninstalling FC v4.3.xxx from one of my PCs I lost all network interfaces (W7 x64). I downloaded tools from Fortinet (FCremove.exe) and that fixed it, I got my NIC back. Just saying...
