Uninstall from Mac

Sachiela

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.

    Hi, I am having real trouble completely removing Sophos from my mac, and it is exactly the same problem. I was required to have it installed in order to access the network at my university from which I have now graduated, and I would now like to remove it as it is not running properly, and I have noticed it is constantly running in my utility folder, from the root user which no matter how hard I try, I cannot stop it. I really do not want this old version on my mac anymore, but it just won't go away! I have looked everywhere possible for an installer/uninstaller, but it appears that this does not exist on my computer, and so there is no way of completely removing the program, please help! this is really bothering me, and all I want to do is completely remove the old and very clumsey program and then use the great new one. please let me know how you guys have solved this problem.

    Cheers.
