I too had problem with Adobe reader X's uninstall process. I was tired of trying everything, I searched many links on internet but I couldn't find any solution. Finally I found this post http://forums.techarena.in/windows-software/1458203.htm#post5592136 which helped me solve my problem. You too can try it, it is really helpful.

Thanks for the input Jason, and good to see this is useful for others besides me.
I've updated the list regarding the 6.0.1 GUID, and added some more GUIDs, including the latest Acrobat Reader X (10.1.0).
Enjoy :)
