How hard are they going to look? ...lol
I think the only surefire solution would be to search for files and folders after the uninstall and delete them (hoping they're not shared) and looking for registry entries pertaining to the software. Regclean would be good for cleaning up the registry but theres no guarantees. And what if theres a screwup with the uninstall and the machine crashes big time ... how you gonna splain dat lucy. Uninstalling software is always risky business.

Were you on the corporate network when you installed them?
