Registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vodafone
Certain Update Manager files will remain on the computer after uninstallation. This is expected
behaviour. The components that install these files are marked as permanent and so will not be
removed. Also, related registry database keys are not removed from the computer. Usually there
is no problem with leaving the Update Manager files on any given computer. There are typically
multiple applications that are using the update service on a given computer, so forcing the
removal of these components would not be a good way to proceed.
