You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!

You can use regedit.exe (included in Windows) to locate and delete these registry entries.
A key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ named "cb006511", plus associated values.
A key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ named "cb006511CC", plus associated values.
A key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ named "cbplug", plus associated values.
A key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ named "cb006550", plus associated values.
