How to remove SophosAmsiProvider.dll

I used the trial version some time ago to get to know the tool and we ended up not continuing.
The application has already been removed, but the SophosAmsiProvider.dll file is still on the computer and in use, as I cannot remove it.

  • Hi,

    You may run Sophos ZAP on your system to totally remove all Sophos components and services. You may refer to this link for instructions

  • Hello.

    I ran the application and it ran normally. I restarted the computer and when I went to run it again the following message appeared:

    Remembering that I am running with the same admin user as before.

  • Thank you for your response, One of the reasons why you get this kind of return error was due to some components still present on the system. I would suggest you boot your system on safe mode and re-run the ZAP tool. let us know if the issue still persist.
