sigverif sees unsigned files, but they're missing?

    Most boringly titled thread ever, but my OCD is being bugged by this.

    Basically trying to do a bit of spring cleaning on the system, and ran sigverif to identify any non-signed files.

    It found a few. The problem is they're all references to files I manually erased - I was unable to properly uninstall Asus AI Suite III and it's now left traces all over the place.

    I used the cleaner.exe thing from Asus but that hasn't got rid of those sigverif references.

    I saw this once before with an emulation driver called tapp.sys I think, but I was able to rectify it by uninstalling the (hidden) device from device manager.

    But I have no idea where these 'devices' are for AI Suite. Things like atkex.dll etc.

    sigverif thinks they're all there (17 of them) but they're not. How do I get rid of the references so sigverif doesn't 'see' them in error?

    PS used ccleaner but it didn't work.

    It is not clear what exactly do you call "references".

    The fact they're appearing in sigverif as 'unsigned' yet the files themselves are gone from the disk.

    Fixed. They were hiding in the repository. As opposed to where sigverif reported them as being.
