    I have a Mac computer which I got to keep after I retired from my office.  I have tried to remove the anti-virus software unsuccessfully.  I cannot find the "Remove Anti-Virus.."  option in the Library/Application Support list.  I tried to remove it through the Unix command line, following the prompts recommended by Sophos.  It asks for authentication.  When I typed in "su-" for Super  User command, it asks for a password. I typed in the password that I have for my computer and it's not correct.  I am stuck.  Now what???? Sophos Technical Support and my former office technical support have not been able to help either.
    Sophos suggested that I get a Add/Remove program. 

    Anyone has any additional suggestions?
