1. Do you have CCleaner?

CCleaner is a good tool for removing registry entries that are no longer in use.

4. If you messed with the registry, and didn't complete the job

the best I can suggest is restart, do NOT start any web browsers, and try uninstall again. If that fails, call Adobe. Let them figure it out, that's what their support techs are there for.

5. I don't use that crappy software anymore...

When you'll manage to get rid of it you should try Foxit Reader.It's free and it does everything

that Adobe Reader does but without the inconvenients.And it loads fast.

6. First I need to understand why you are trying to remove all traces

if you are just worried about bits in the registry, there are some good registry cleaning tools over at Major Geeks. I will reccommend one, if you like.
