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.

  • Agree 100% with Sachiela - exactly the same problem.   You sophos guys just keep saying, 'just install the free version'.  But you cannot do this while any trace of the old files remain.  Problem is, there seems to be nothing else to 'trash'.  I find this situation more than a bit ridiculous...surely someone from Sophos can give a step-by-step guide as to how to uninstall the thing and re-install the new version!!!!!
