Flashget removal problem

After the unwanted update (3.3 to 3.4 i think) that became visible when i downloaded a video, flashget turned into a massive chinese ad program, at 1st i tought it was a virus or malware, but that wasn't possible, it was indeed a "update".

With this i decided to remove permanently the chinese bs along with the program itself, removed the update and the original flash get program, removed the directory folders, cleaned up the registry.

Something was left behind, flashget can be integrated with IE, but once i unistalled it cleared that up, unfortunatly the chinese update wasn't removed, so it's still integrated with IE8, the options don't do anything, but the simple fact i see chinese makes me sick.
I'll post a pic later but the chinese stuff apears when you right click any web page, that menu contains 1 or 2 options that i do not want.

I tried to contact the company for a solution, but the email they give doesn't exist and other methods to contact them have disapeared.
I would like some help or hints on how to remove this.

You shouldn't have uninstalled that on your own... a good way to clean it all up is using REVO uninstaller, that tiny little piece of magic can uninstall ANYTHING without any leftovers... so, if you want to completelly uninstall it, i suggest you to reinstall the app and uninstalling it using REVO uninstaller (in EXTREME/ADVANCED mode, can't remember which one was... the last one in the list D: )

Believe me, it's gone, i can't find folders or registry entries, if it's here then it doesn't bug me.
