Uninstall from Mac

I know I've seen this come up hundreds of times, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get rid of all traces of the program. All I want to do is get the old version of Sophos off my mac so I can get the new one installed on my system.

I've deleted the file from my Apps using the trash can. I've gone into my Library>App Support>Sophos folder and found no uninstall program, so I deleted the folder. I can't reinstall the program to try and get the uninstall because I got it from a CD at my college, which I graduated from already. I've looked through every folder I have to find any traces of the name and haven't found anything. I've gone to my Acitivity Monitor and made sure Sophos had quit on there. I've removed the little icon from my menu bar at the top as well as the large icon on the bottom of the screen.

I've completely run out of options. All I want to do is protect my computer. Is there some kind of uninstall program? Or could someone just send me the uninstall package. There has got to be something to do to get rid of this program.

  • The best way to uninstall is to use the installer (reinstall and then uninstall) - I feel you know this from your posting.  Therefore you need to get hold of the installer and this seems to be the problem, having graduated and no longer have access to the original CD.

    Have you tried our free version of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac?  It's a fully featured product and available to dowload here: Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition

    Support is via a different forum though:  Sophos FreeTalk.  There are a lot more Mac experts on that forum.

    After trying the product if you still want to uninstall it and are having problems I recommend posting on Sophos FreeTalk for the best answer.
