How to remove AcroVBus from system

Thread needs solution

Suffering slow disk copy - and trying to remove Acronis TI Home 2011. Went through the automatic and the manual uninstall. One Acronis item remains, and it appears to have attached itself to "odd" places when it installed.

I have a registry entry called AcroVBus that has a child BACKUPHDD: the tree looks like:

AcroVbus
-BACKUPHDD
--1&33bc641a&0&0
---Properties
----{540b947e-8b40-45bc-a8a2-6a0b894cbda2}
----{83da6326-97a6-4088-9453-a1923f573b29}
----{a8b865dd-2e3d-4094-ad97-e293a70c75d6}
--1&33bc641a&0&1
---Properties
----{540b947e-8b40-45bc-a8a2-6a0b894cbda2}
----{83da6326-97a6-4088-9453-a1923f573b29}
----{a8b865dd-2e3d-4094-ad97-e293a70c75d6}

The problem is these eventually link to things like the high definition audio driver... and the key AcroVbus can't be deleted, even in safe mode -- the key has been tangled around too many vital Windows kernel items.

Needless to say - I am not looking forward to rebuilding 8TB worth of data as I rebuild this system... I doubt I will be installing any more Acronis software here at home, or at work -- I simply can't afford to risk customer data to such blatant software problems.
