How to remove a failed or damaged NOD32 antivirus program?

Because of strong integration with the system, uninstalling an anti-virus program using Windows Add/Removal program is often insufficient, you can’t uninstall them completely or in some cases they don’t even uninstall. However, most antivirus developers has also developed special tool for completely removing their product. Here is a free tool for removing failed or damaged Nod32 antivirus software.
