Uninstalling SuperAntispyware leaves Unknown hardware devices

    After Uninstalling SuperAntispyware Free I get a Found New Hardware popup at system startup.

    The installed version is identified as the "portable" version, but it is not portable in the usual sense.

    I created a System Restore point before the uninstall. After restoring that restore point, the new hardware error disappeared.

    I uninstalled SAS again, this time choosing to Not save user logs and settings. After reboot, the same problem occurred.

    The New Hardware Wizard says
    This wizard helps you install software for:
    Unknown

    Device Manager shows a main entry for Other Devices and Two entries below that shown as Unknown device
    All three entries are labeled with a yellow question mark.

    My first thought is to Disable those two devices, reboot and see what happens.
    If all is OK, then maybe it's OK to uninstall them?

    I'd like some recommendations on how to proceed.

    Had trouble last time I removed SuperAntispyware and told myself at that time "never again".
    I thought installing a "portable" version would be safer. DUH?

    THANKS.
