Well, presumably the botnet outputs data to an address, right? Like let's say everything it collected was sent to a particular IP adadress. The "uninstaller" could have just been, say, something that edits the hosts file and just blocks the IP at that level. It doesn't risk harming the computers (it only adds one address that will fail to connect) and it completely cripples the botnet.
