Uninstalling 9.4

RTP

I want to uninstall the 9.4 as I believe it may have been the Culprit preventing me updating two very different iMacs to El Capitan

There is a "Remove Sophos" App - does that truly remove all traces of 9.4?

    Hi RTP,

    The uninstall app should remove everything, but if you want to confirm you can check the following directories to make sure.

    /Library/Sophos Anti-Virus
    /Library/LaunchDaemos/com.sophos.*
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.sophos.*
    /Library/Preferences/com.sophos.*
    /Library/Logs/Sophos Anti-Virus.log
    /Applications/Sophos Anti-Virus.app
    /Applications/Sophos Remove.app
    /var/db/receipts/com.sophos.*
     

    Cheers,
    Serra

    If you really want to remove it from every nook and cranny of your Mac, then get FindAnyFile apps.tempel.org/.../ Search for "Sophos" and then option-click the Find button and authenticate at the prompt. This will allow you to search as deeply as possible in Root.

    Just posted this a few minutes ago and no longer see it. Was it removed, or it this just a bug in the new format?

    If you really want to remove Sophos from every nook and cranny of your system, get FindAnyFile apps.tempel.org/.../ Enter "Sophos" in the search field, Option(alt)-click on the Find button, which will prompt you to authenticate. This will search as deeply as possible in Root, and you will probably find a number of items that can be removed by selecting Reveal in Finder>Move to Trash>Authenticate.

    EDIT, uh, oh, now the first post is visible again. But this one has a bit more info about trashing items.
