Sophos removal utility?

Is there a stand alone utility that will remove ALL traces of Sophos from a PC? I'm having install issues and I would like to start again from scratch.

Not one that is at least publicly available.

The problem is all the packages are installed by Windows Installer (MSIs) so hacking stuff out really would be a last resort.

Is there a particular component causing you a problem? E.g. Sophos Anti-Virus, Sophos AutoUpdate, Sophos Remote Management System?

Is it Central Managed, SEC managed, UTM managed or standalone?

I would at least start by attempting all the uninstall strings for the MSIs as per - https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/109668 or as suggested for the Central managed client here;
https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/122126. You should really disable tamper protection first though as per: https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/119175 otherwise that will cause the MSI commands to fail.

Jak
