How to remove obsolete and unremovable NDIS filter miniport device

Vista Business 32Bits

Sunbelt Personal Firewall 4.6.18xx was in use for a long time on this pc.
We decided to remove this firewall because it let to intensive BSOD.
Sunbelt Firewall Cleaner had been applied.

After firewall removal the Vista Device Manager still shows two items of
Sunbelt NDIS Filter IM Miniport device. One called #3, the other one #6.
It is not possible to remove these device, neither by unsinstall, nor by
uninstall along whith driver files removal.  These two devices keep to
be listed in Network Adapters group.

Registry shows several items related to these two devices.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\0015
There are more than two items of #3 and #6 miniport device under ControlSet002.
Also other registry branches still refer to these devices.
