Lately where has been a great enhancement to Spybot Search and Destroy
(http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html):
Starting with version 1.5.2, in "advanced mode"
(http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/21.html)
under "Tools" you have the possibility to list all uninstall strings -
and export them to csv ...

Best regards,
