Remove Sophos - bypass tamper protection on an Apple Mac - Too Easy!

Hi All

We find ourselves in a situation where some of our users have admin rights on their Apple Mac and have found a way to bypass tamper protection in Sophos allowing them to easily uninstall Sophos by running the Sophos uninstaller.

All a user needs to do is move all the Sophos plist files located in /Library/Preferences/ to the bin and then run the Sophos uninstaller. Or just delete the /Library/Preferences/com.sophos.sav.plist and then run the Sophos uninstaller. Doing either of these actions bypasses the tamper protection prompt allowing for easy uninstall.

 

Just wondering how we can rectify this issue?
