This is from another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com...t/thread/03302219-45f3-49fd-ba1a-d5ae19ff3c1e)

- Run Windows Install Cleanup to remove Security Essentials
- Disable the MSSE Service from services.msc
- Delete the MSSE entry from Add/remove programs
- Delete C:\Program Files folder for MSSE

Some of these seem redundant, but must be done. After this, you must install the full version again. It cannot be the upgrade, use the old installer if you have it. Wait for Windows Update to give you the MSSE update before manually updating to 1.0.1500 after that

I cant find the early version to d/load and alos i cant delete these files from my pc
Mpclient.dll-vers: 2.0.6212.0-Client interface
mpRTP.dll-vers: 2.0.6212.0-Antimalware realtime monitor
MpSvc.dll- vers:2.0.6212.0-Sevice module
MsMpEng-vers:2.0.6212.0-Antimalware service executable

These are the only remnants of the program i can find on my system and when i try to delete them they all say access denied
I have done all the steps that you posted btw, and have tried to reinstall to no avail. the same error code keeps comming up although it was a new version because the old version is not available for d/load or at least I could not find it.
