If you are comfortable enough: run regEdit and look under hkey local machine/software and see if you have an entry for "Canon" and nuke it.

Start, My Computer, Drive C:/, Documents and Settings, Owner, Application Data, Check for any programs that are for the Canon and delete them. Good luck.

It uses the default uninstall program and then searches the Registry and hard drive for related items and removes them too.
