desire to uninstall sogou.exe, but couldn\'t

Problem Summary: desire to uninstall sogou.exe, but couldn\'t
Hi, I have recently installed a chinese software sogou.exe from the chinese website. As I could not really understand chinese, I click on a button which installed the sogou.exe file which is not what I wanted(I wanted to listen to this chinese song instead).
Subsequently, I located the uninstaller of the file but upon clicking it, nothing happens.
I suspect the uninstaller might be down so I went ahead to Control panel to uninstall the .exe file.
To my dismay, nothing happens too.
I have yet to notice any problems arising from my computer. But I do want to uninstall the adware since the uninstallation is problematic, I do not want to foresee my computer to be in trouble due to the file.

Thank you.
