Looking at the version number I can suppose that the first one is Jiangmin Antivirus. The second is obviously Microsoft Forefront Client Security. The software scans the Windows Security Center namespace for antivirus products. It is unreachable using default tools, but can be viewed using WMI CIM Studio. Though to remove the agent that reports the antivirus presence to the Windows Security Center you will probably need to find and uninstall the antivirus itself.

Cant un-installed because I cant find it installed or any reference in the registry (apart from legacy)

downloaded and installed WMI CIM Studio but have no idea what I'm looking at

 

any ideas about what I can do next?

You need to run the Studio, connect to the root\SecurityCenter namespace on the local PC, get the instances of the AntiVirusProduct class and try to delete the faulty instance. I can't say if the result will be successful, but give it a try.
