This might help. I too bought the Macheist bundle and installed it on 10.5.8. Then I found an issue where I couldn't eject disk images and trashed it. Seems I recall that I had to reinstall (after trying to remove it without following their steps) then followed their method and got it off. YMMV.
Edit: I was just researching another issue and came across this thread. It was about removing an application installed by stealth by Epson (I have to assume their scanner driver as I don't have an Epson printer). Anyway, it describes how to remove the Arcsoft Connection app. I followed the instructions and discovered Integro also puts an entry in the same file, so you might want to check whether that file retains the Integro entry after uninstall and edit it out if it remains. I used BBEdit to remove the Arcsoft entry as it displays xml better than TextEdit.
Here's the pertinant info from the webpage linked above:

Arcsoft uses a dirty trick, a loophole that Apple should close. It uses the same mechanism as used by the prefpane \"Accounts\" (Login items). But in stead of saving these preferences in the /Users/my_user_name/Library/Preferences/ folder, it saves them directly in /Library/Preferences/. So there is no Login Items prefpane to edit that.
When you enter the folder /Library/Preferences/, you will find a file called \"loginwindow.plist\". When you open that either with Property List Editor (part of XCode dev tools) or TextEdit, you will see a key \"AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary\". Under that key you will find \"/Library/Application Support/ArcSoft/Connect Service/ConnectService.app\. That is the culprit.
If it is the only application in that plist, then remove the file (otherwise remove only the entry). Next startup the Arcsoft Connect Service will not start again (until done so by hand of course) wrote:
