When I want to make sure an application is really and truly 100% removed form my computer, I take the following additional steps.
• After using your favorite removal tool and rebooting, scan your whole system from C:\ for any file/folders that contain the application name. Delete them
• Reboot and use a registry cleaner like the one inside CCleaner.
• You may have hidden files that you could not see in the first step, or could not remove. The only way to get rid of them is to use a Linux System Rescue CD. If you are not familiar with Linux, now is NOT the time to start learning. Find someone who is.
