Although I appreciate a free AV Sophos for Mac has been a fairly bad time for me since it started out by crashing my Macbook Pro (and still does, I tried the latest version) but now the iMac where it was working is giving up.
The shield in the Menu bar is simply back with an X in it. Attempts to update are met with "Checking primary server" then "Could not update Sophos Anti-Virus" which would be fine except any attempt to remove it nets me "The uninstallation process failed with exit code 1"
Macpaw CleanMyMac makes some attempts to remove it when I ask it to, requesting admin to kill stray tasks but still fails. I now know why as even using sudo kill -9 on the Sophos PID's simply has them restart immediately.
I would like to get it working again sure, but the other option is to get it off my computer so it is not wasting memory doing nothing. Any advice please?
