How to COMPLETELY remove a program?


I need to have my computer completely free of any limewire or torrent programs (For a laptop configuration thing)
I already uninstalled limewire and utorrent, deleted the app data folders, searched for it on my hard drive, and deleted some registry keys left behind

However, the IT guy i gave it too, sent the laptop back to me telling me that he still found limewire and bittorrent, which i have no idea how that got on there because i never installed it before

Please help me figure out how i can get all traces off of my comp please?

As a last resort you can always format your Hard Disk Drive and reinstall Windows (or your Operating System). But before you do that, you may want to use a software like CCleaner (freeware) to remove any application. You can go through the list of features before making up your mind.
