Short Answer : Use FormsAuthentication.SignOut();

Long Answer

public ActionResult LogOff()
{
    FormsAuthentication.SignOut();

    return RedirectToAction("Login", "Account");
}

private ActionResult RedirectToLocal(string returnUrl)
{
    if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl))
    {
        return Redirect(returnUrl);
    }
    else
    {
        return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
    }
}

Use [Authorize] above the actions which you don't want the user to do after logging out. This you can do by adding this attribute above actions individually or marking the entire class with [Authorize] so that all methods can now be only be accessed by authenticated users.

Hope this helps.

AuthenticationManager.SignOut(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);

This should work in newer versions.
