Try run this reg file to delete the keys. I may need to tweak it. let me know if it works.

If you do not use the scan afterwards, there's no point then. Revo basically lets you uninstall via the default uninstaller first and then lets you run its own scan to find the relevant leftovers

It's important that you let it run its own scan and then select and remove all the relevant files that it finds

Do not worry, that pop up happens with any registry file you run, the file is safe, please keep in mind that all staff members will always make sure any file they post is safe and will check it before posting. Please download the file Britec posted and run it, when a warning comes up, click yes and when it asks do you want continue, click yes.

Then if that didn't remove the registry keys, please try Compton's idea and run ccleaner registry. In ccleaner, click on the registry tab and click scan for issues. Wait for it to scan and find registry keys. Once it has finished, select the 3 entries, click remove, then click remove all.

The registry file will delete them keys, it wont harm your computer, if your not going to trust people here, not worth asking for help.
