Can't Uninstall Sophos

I want to uninstall Sophos Free edition but I don't have the removal application tool on my computer anymore.

Is there somewhere I can download the removal tool from?

Or another way I can remove it?

  • So if you search in Spotlight the uninstaller doesn't appear...

    It could be that the version you have installed is not the Home Edition and hence the uninstaller is in a location not indexed by Spotlight.  If so you can locate the uninstaller through Finder and browser to the /Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/ folder, then run the Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg file.  The same problem occurs with users of the non Home Edition who try to upgrade to v9 and there is a video in this thread, second post, that explains how to locate the uninstaller (if you're still unable to locate it).

    Hopefully one of those two ideas resolves the problem?
