sophos not completely removed on mac

I uninstalled Sophos with "remove Sophos Endpoint", but every minute I get:

(system) <Warning>: failed lookup: name = com.sophos.xpc.broker, flags = 0x8, requestor = com.sophos.endp[320], error = 3: No such process

in the launchd.log on my MacOS Monterey

Seems to be the same problem as:

https://community.sophos.com/intercept-x-endpoint/f/discussions/131695/error-message

and:

https://community.sophos.com/intercept-x-endpoint/f/discussions/131114/error-message-in-launchd-log

But no working solution

Also I see that there are still sophos files in /Library/SystemExtensions related to

com.sophos.endpoint.networkextension and com.sophos.endpoint.scanextension

I tried this:

https://community.sophos.com/intercept-x-endpoint/big-sur-eap/f/recommended-reads/124391/how-to-remove-system-extensions

But also didn't help.

How do I completely remove sophos?

Thanks
