    running sophos 7.2.7, Mac 10.7.2, autoupdate stopped working. went to Sophoes site, saw a new version, thought OK, will update.

    uninstalled 7.2.7, downloaded new Home version. went to install, but low and behold, can't (a previous version is running etc.). still have the sophos shield in my tool bar, but no app in apps folder, nothing in library.

    how to do a clean uninstall and then install new one?

    By running the application in your Applications folder titled "Sophos Remove" to uninstall the software.  If you've already manually removed that, send me a private message and I'll attempt to walk you through cleaning up your currently broken install prior to the re-install.
