Goodbye Sophos - hello Avast.

I've finally uninstalled Sophos and won't be using it again. I'm grateful that the developers make it a free app but it's caused me too many hassles recently with the constant updating that never stops, on access scan constantly being greying out and trying to do a full system scan takes hours and hours just to calculate the files to scan before it scans anything, and always the suggested solution is either to reboot or remove and reinstall. That's not how an app should be, free or not! So I've switched over to Avast which is working perfectly at the moment (of course only time will tell if it stays like that).

Thanks again for the work Sophos does to make this free but much more needs to be done before I'd consider switching back to it, unless someone convinces me otherwise!!

  • What did you do to get Sophos to remove, I am running windows xp and the add/remove program does not allow me to remove the Sophos AV program. Says I need to be a Sophos administrator. Program was supplied to me by the company I work for, now they will not give me technical support because it is not a network (co. owned) computer. They supplied the instructions and passwords to download and install on personal pc's but now won't support when personal pc's can't remove the software. I contacted Sophos support and they tell me they can't support due to company license aggreements. So I am stuck with this program on my pc, I am running Avast and it seems to be co-existing with Sophos for the moment. Do you know of a download that will get rid of Sophos? Thanks.
