    As per Apple guidelines, not 100% of the files are uninstalled -- log files for example are left on disk.  However, all files actually installed by the installer get uninstalled.  You may want to verify that your original preferences files are uninstalled during the uninstallation process.  Some uninstall managing software is listed here.  Running something such as Uninstaller and/or iTrash after running the Sophos Uninstaller may help you see whether there are other potentially related files left behind that were created after installation.
