Uninstall PC Optimizer Pro Malware

PC Optimizer Pro issue

‘I was getting a client to install TeamViewer and they accidentally installed PC Optimizer Pro. (And also News.net?) Now TeamViewer is installed, I want to make sure this malware is gone.
First thing I did was go to Control Panel and uninstall both PC Optimizer Pro and News.net. Each uninstall went through without issue (and I checked Program Files for them afterwards and didn't see them) and then Internet Explorer popped up with a page to buy a full subscription / leave feed back for News.net, both of which I just closed.
I'm not entirely sure if it's an issue or not though. I don't think that my client actually ran the program after installation. 
I read someone uninstalled this and then restarted and their computer didn't boot. I also read that this software can change your proxy settings or something along those lines...?’ – quoted from one of its victims.
