Worse case scenario, you wont. There are programs inpervious to detection,
you could always format and re-install your laptop if you are that worried
about it. Next time be a little more aware of 'free' stuff ...... theres no
such thing as free !

There is nothing impervious to detection if you use the right tools and are
willing to invest the time needed to find them. Personally, I would just do
a secure wipe and practice better safeguards in the future.
