Someone PLEASE help me unistall this product! I have been trying to remove sophos from my MAC for 2 years...it never goes away...i tried the uninstaller before and nothing....now everytime I start my computer the sophos UIserver is open...I am no longer able to share photos to facebook ever since this happened...it won't let me force quit it either... i just removed the application tonight by throwing it in the trash including the unistaller...now i read that was not smart becuase fragments of the program still remain....how do i get rid of every trace of this program? I don't even know which version I have, I downloaded it 3 years ago and I'm running MAC OS X version 10.7.5...HELP

  • I am having trouble with Sophos blocking my sites...... I didn't install it so I can't UNinstall it like the video shows! I have tried going through support but they say the only way they can help is if I actually have it installed...... can anyone help me find a way to stop Sophos from blocking my sites? I don't know if this will help or not but I am including screen shots of the error messages....... it's just not letting me do anything!

  • I am having a similar problem with Sophos...... only difference is I never installed it. It is continuously blocking my sites and I can't figure out how to get it to stop blocking them...... I had a similar problem with a product called OpenDNS that kept blocking my sites. I managed to get that fixed but now I am havin the same trouble with Sophos...... I need help as I don't understand WHY it's doing this!

  • Hello Wendy,

    this has nothing to do with SAV for Mac HE (and not with your computer at all). The requests are blocked by a gateway (a network component/software, in this case Sophos UTM, running on its own computer) protecting the network you are connected to. If it's not you who set it up you'd have to contact the person who did.
