"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

Okay so after removing the software from the registry did you by chance defragment your hard drive? Whenever you move a file or remove software you leave a trail or pieces of it. The way you removed the software wasn't exactly the safest way to uninstall in the first place so defragmenting would be a good step even after a restart.
CCleaner was my favorite when on XP OS, but do not use it on any any newer OS's
use:
lockhunter

or
unlocker:

Few thoughts:
I use two programs for registry cleaning (CCleaner and FreeWidowRegistryRepair). CCleaner is not great app for registry cleaning, but it does not corrupt anything (not since version 2.xxx), at least that I noticed. Free registry repair is much better, and did not corrupt registry or destroyed something, again - at least not that I noticed (but it also create automatic backup of registry changes)...
So, I would suggest you to try those...
Other recommendations would be...
Go and manually purge files from Temp folders on locations
C:\Users\<profile name>\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Windows\Temp
And check for traces (and delete files and folders if you find some) of that specific app in
C:\ProgramData\
C:\Program Files (x86)\
C:\Program Files\

try a system restore to a date it was ok before
and remember - before playing with the registry - make a backup of it
