cannot find sophos to uninstall

Sorry if this is posted 2x. I have just installed & would now like to uninstall Sophos. It is showing up in my menu bar, but I am unable to locate any of its parts through a spotlight search. The about says “About Panel Version Unknown.”

Here is the install log:

  • Hi oswaldb,

    There should be an uninstall application. If you open finder, browse to the 'Applications' directory and click on the app called "Remove Sophos Antivirus."

    If that doesn't work, you can check out this KB, which gives a link to the removal tool, which you can download and run.

    Hopefully that helps, but if you need anything else let me know!
