How to remove Sophos kechain from Keychain Access?

MacMan988

Hi, I uninstalled Sophos from my mac with the provided uninstaller. But it has left the sophos keychain item it seems.

When I right click on it, a menu appears but the delete option is not listed.

I went looking for the actual keychain item but I could not locate the "Sophos Anti-Virus" folder in /Library

Any ideas on how to get rid of this keychain entry in my Keychain Access?

Thanks.

    Guessing here as I'm doing this from memory but I believe there might have been something funny about the precise order of removal for the 'Sophos' entry under the 'Keychain List'.

    In the post hosting the video, at 1 minute, 30 seconds the video shows the 'Keychain List' dialog.

    Did you follow the video exactly?  Did you select 'Mac OS X (System)' from the 'Show' menu, select 'Sophos', click minus, move back to 'User' on the 'Show' menu, select 'Sophos' and minus that entry too?

    If you click OK after that and go back in to the Keychain List is the 'Sophos' entry still gone.  I think if you select the 'User' first and click the minus, then did 'Mac OS X (System)' the entry disappeared but then came back into the Keychain List.

    Worth a try.
