It would be extremely difficult (maybe impossible) to remove sophos central from within the operating system (windows 7) where it is installed. This because active sophos will prevent the registry editor editing sophos registry keys and will block important parts of script files designed to disable sophos. However, by either plugging the affected drive into another computer -OR- working from recovery - command prompt, the SOPHOS folders can be removed from program files and program files (x86) on the affected hard drive partition. All hitmanpro files should also be removed.
Then reboot affected operating system and use iobit uninstaller uninstaller to delete remaining sophos files to CLEAN UP. Other sophos files can be manually deleted.
The Sophos Cental will be disabled,but some files remain which can prevent install of sophos home.
