After much trouble, I finally uninstalled EMC 8 using Windows install cleanup.  The software is gone from add/remove programs.  However, when I did a search of all files and folders for Rox*, all kinds of files show up.  Why are they still there and how can I get rid of them?  Also, when I boot up the machine, I get a runtime error for "Program Files\CommonFiles\RoxioShared\SharedCOM8\RoxWatchTray.exe"  Why can't I get rid of this program? :)

Delete all of the folders, manually.

And, you might benefit from a program such as Regseeker which is helpful in cleaning out the registry.  A quick google will find it for you.
