I just use Your Uninstaller!
I just use Your Uninstaller! 2008 to get rid of everything I dont want, it even scans for left behind files after the standard uninstall is finished. I like the program you mentioned though, because I dont deal with fake anti software at all, they seem like a real hassle to get rid of.

Just enjoyed MalwareBytes
i used to deal with alot of fake antivirus, the only way i can see i would be able to remove it is from the registery (run->regedit) alot of new fake antivirus are now hiding there registry directory...i just used MalwareBytes and did a scan..picked up 16 vundo and seneka spyware as well as a fake anitremover called "virusremover2008"...the only know issue is this fake antivirus starts to completely take over the system though system32.. Once i got ride of the fake antivirus and spyware i had to recreate my own boot.ini file over, the system kept running into safemode... either way im was very impressed with MalwareBytes it did its job and i didnt have to go to the hassel of looking for the fake antivirus or spyware and remove it from the registery one by one

I just ran a simple quick scan of my system to try it out, and it picked up 300+ infections that my other scanners weren't detecting, and the file assassin removed a malware exe that I couldn't delete myself. Definitely well worth the download.
