I need urgent help with getting rid of infovox.

I turned on my Mac this morning to find voiceover intoning this is an
evaluation copy of Infovox.
I have used command Vo cursors keys to change the default voice back to Alex
but this has made little difference. Whilst I can now access some feedback
through Alex of window titles etc Infovox is still preventing me from
getting to the content voice setting in Voiceover Utility to try and turn it
off. No matter what I do I cannot get Voiceover to do anything except say
"This is an evaluation copy of Infovox."
I tried using command A to open the application folder interacted with it
and then typed Infovox and then press command delete to try and get rid of
it. No joy.
I then tried to remember how to get to the Utilities table and did succeed
in getting to the Voices tab which Alex announced. I tried using item
chooser, typed Graham to try and find the Infovox voice. Item chooser did
seem to find something but again I cannot get any feedback when returning to
the main screen beyond "this is an evaluation copy of Infovox.
I tried again to use Voiceover utility and then using item chooser and then
typing default to see if that could get me back to default settings.
Unfortunately this did not work.

This design is very hostile to visually impaired users as it assumes you can
see to get rid of Infovox. It should instead return control to the default
voice. . If you evaluate Infovox you must get rid of it before evaluation
expires or buy it. I will never do this after this experience.

In the meantime my Mac is unusable.

Is there anybody who could give me a key by key description of what keys to
press under Mountain Lion in order to hit the restore defaults button and
then confirm it?

Alternatively is there anybody who can send me a portable settings file,
again with key by key instructions on how to install it without any feedback
from Voiceover beyond this is an evaluation copy of Infovox??
