    The reason that there are multiple sets of instructions is that each version of SAV for Mac has a different uninstall method -- SAV 4 Enterprise, SAV 7 Enterprise, and  SAV 7 Home Edition.  Which version do you have installed?  Home edition has the uninstaller right in the Applications folder (next icon after the Sophos Anti-Virus.app  one).  If it's not there, try re-installing the software, and then run the uninstaller.

    If you're not using the Home Edition, you can probably contact your local IT or Sophos Customer Support (if you have a support account number) for help uninstalling if you find the instructions in these forums are confusing.
