No, there is not a bug with using --unregister (at least, I have  
never seen one reported).  The correct way to remove the add-in is to  
either run the register script with --unregister (if running from  
source) or to use the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel (if running  
from binary).

The 1.1 installer will offer to remove the application data folder on  
uninstall.  For now, you can just delete that folder (i.e. {APP_DATA} 
\SpamBayes) using whatever deletion method you like.

The FAQ explains how to remove the toolbar.  If I had time to work on  
SpamBayes, I'd add removing that to the 1.1 installer, but I don't at  
the moment, unfortunately.
