Iamapiratearrr has it down.
It is not going to physically damage the computer, but it could cause some potential software errors due to the leftovers in the registry.

It won't hurt your PC at all.
However, it may leave a lot of clutter in your registry which will help to slow down your computer.
If you don't have a program like Registry Mechanic, give this FREE program a shot. It works pretty well to clean up registry entries that are no longer needed.
The program name is Registry Distiller and it's free at http://www.download.com
Hope this helps.

no it shouldn't,but it may leave behind alot of files that wouldn't uninstall,and you may have to do a disk clean up,to free up the space left behind after an uninstall.

Not very likely to cause any problems.

You should be ok as long as it doesnt contain virus's or spyware.
