How to remove Microsoft Security Essential (MSE) completely?

Most often many people find it difficult to uninstall antivirus programs properly from their PC. I think this is especially true with latest operating system Windows 7.

Main cause is that antivirus programs are tightly integrated with the operating system; a normal uninstallation some times failed or left registry entries in the system. Therefore a re-installation or installing another antivirus program will not possible.

Ok that, if you find any difficulty in uninstalling the Microsoft Security Essential (MSE) from your PC (for a fresh installation or for installing another antivirus program) here is how you can do that.MSE-cleanup-tool
