We have encountered a variety of systems where a virus infection has corrupted Microsoft Security Essentials in a way that makes it impossible to remove or reinstall using normal methods. Unlike most AV vendors, Microsoft has not released a ‘Removal Tool’ that will remove every trace of the anti-virus, so most people have had to try and use a variety of manual methods. We recently wrote about a handy script that was able to remove MSE in a number of cases, but the owner took it offline (along with the rest of his very useful reference site) and it was lacking a few additional keys.
Based on experiences with a few infected machines worked on recently, I’ve updated the scripts and also have a few hints that may help you get MSE uninstalled so you can reinstall it (or just know you got rid of it all):
Here are some tips to using these scripts:
I hope this helps some of you looking to recover from a virus infection!
