Thanks, I ended up manually finding all the changes, then writing a perl 
script to go out and remove everything.

#!perl

open INPUT_FILE, "<comp_list.txt";

while (<INPUT_FILE>) {
        chomp;
        $comp=$_;
        `rd /s/q \\\\$comp\\c\$\\\"Program Files\"\\TurboNote`;
        `del \\\\$comp\\c\$\\\"Documents and Settings\"\\\"All Users\"\\\"Start 
Menu\"\\Programs\\Startup\\TurboNote.lnk /Q`;
        `rd /s/q \\\\$comp\\c\$\\\"Documents and Settings\"\\\"All 
Users\"\\\"Start 
Menu\"\\Programs\\Applications\\Applications\\TurboNote`;
        `reg delete \"\\\\$comp\\HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\SPIS Ltd\" /f`;
        `reg delete 
\\\\$comp\\HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\TurboNote
 
/f`;
}
