risingflight,
If you opt to run the programs suggested, there is still a possibility for remnants to remain in the system. To see whatever is left, and remove it, please use the tool that follows...
Zoek:
Download > Download zoek.exe version 5.0.0.0
Click: Download Zoek.exe version 5.0.0.0 (Do not click .zip or .rar)
When the download shows, and you get the option to save, please do so to the Desktop.
Right-click zoek.exe and select: Run as Administrator (Give it a few seconds to appear.)
If your AntiVirus warns you about the program, either allow Zoek to run, or temporarily disable your AV program.

Close any open windows.
Click the Run script button and wait. It takes a few minutes to run all the script.
