Menu bar icon remains after uninstalling Sophos

mipowell
I have a late-2012 MacBook Pro running OSX Mavericks (10.9.2) and I tried to uninstall Sophos Antivirus 9 software by dragging the Sophos folder to the trash.  I did not see the Uninstall package in there.  When I read the instructions for removing Sophos I found the Remove Sophos package in Applications under R (looked under U) and ran it, and it indicated that the uninstall was successful but the icon is still there.  I’’’’ve tried searching for anything to do with Sophos and removing it from my hard drive.  For another issue I had to do a Safe Boot and then reinstall the system software, but the Sophos icon is still there!  Out, **bleep** spot!  Anyone know how?

    Being just a user like you, I'm winging it here, but look in /Library/Caches/com.sophos.sau/CID. In that folder is Sophos Anti-Virus Home Edition.app, which looks suspiciously like the Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.app that gets installed in the Applications folder when Sophos AV version 9 is installed. If nobody else steps in here to correct or confirm this, and at your own risk, you might try running that to see if it will uninstall the bits and pieces of Sophos you still have.
