Removing all traces of an antivirus program from a system is hard just due to the 
nature of how they interact with the OS, I would second Martin's option of just leaving 
them. While you can delete unused registry keys there is really no need to despite 
what some registry cleaners will tell you (I'll spare you that rant in full) for 
the same reason doctors do not remove an appendix unless it is causing trouble.
