How do I get rid of unwanted downloaded apps/programs that "came with" my download?

I just downloaded PhotoShop Elements 12 - which I needed for work - onto my brand new Mac, and now there are these annoying UNWANTED apps sitting there that I can't get rid of: checkclientstatus, AALauncherUtil and macui. Hope can I dump these things? Really puts a bad taste in my mouth about wanting to download anything else from Adobe in the future.

kglad - Thanks so much for responding so quickly and trying to help. It took awhile, but I finally found out where they were located and how to dislodge them. It's just incredibly annoying when someone - or something - else lodges itself in your "home" and attaches with electronic superglue...especially when you're just moderately tech-savvy. It's nice to know someone out there - who is - was willing to help.

(clearly, they weren't apps, but they popped up on my Launchpad like them...as I said, I'm moderately tech-savvy...if that...)
