Wajam piggybacking

[Landis963]

Due to a recent misclick, Wajam was installed on my Chrome. I've done the official uninstaller, I've done the Control Panel option (My computer is Windows 7), I appear to have done everything I can to remove the extension from my browser and life, but the buttons to Facebook and Twitter that it added to my New Tab page appear to resist all forms of removal. The extension itself is not present on the Google Chrome extension page.

Can anybody help? I'd really like this gone.

Looks like that should do it, if you can get the developer options to display the code so you can find and remove the registry key related to it.
