Applications do not affect data or preferences.
But it sounds like the restore of your new hard drive brought along problems and errors from before, when the old drive "died" it probably just needed software repair and maintenance unless the drive's structure, the sectors that data reside on, had a few bad or weak sector blocks.
What are you doing for backups? maintenance? Mountain Lion Recovery for instance?
You need to start addressing the WHY and repair the disk drive directory, and the best medicine is not that bad or hard: backups, a clean install (save the Mountain Lion installer to flash drive), and then import using Setup Assistant.
And keep more than one backup set - so you have a 2nd set off line at any time.
Clone. Carbon Copy Cloner makes an exact bootable copy of partitions and under advanced setting, will do a checksum of each and every file to insure its integrity.
It is unlikely uninstall of the app is the issue. As long as everything is current, compatible, and you didn't install or keep older programs and 3rd party extensions and utilties interferring with Mac behavior and STABILTY.
