    SAV only scans and cleans files; it does not affect your network settings at all -- so I don't think it's likely that SAV was the culprit in this case.

    However, the "scan with SAV" contextual menu sticking around after running the Sophos Remove app sounds a little strange.  I'd suggest scanning your hard drive for errors using Disk Utility, and repairing disk permissions before doing anything else (upgrading, reinstalling SAV, etc.).
