There is a freeware utility called SafeMSI that allows Windows Installer
to run in safe mode. Here's a link:

I would think that a standard removal from add/remove programs should
take care of that. Most software like that has an uninstall file that
has the install "script" that has all the files, reg entries, etc.,
used when the program was installed. Sometimes if I'm not sure that a
program uninstalled correctly, I will try and get a clean re-install
and then uninstall again.
If you are comfortable in the registry, search (Ctrl-F) and find all
instances of windows defender and delete the keys. Be sure you make a
backup of the registry, first. My guess with a program like that would
be that add/remove probably did the job without needing to check the
registry. Check the services running after uninstalling and restarting
the computer.
Hope this helps.
