  • Hi  

    Could you please run below command and see what are the components that are still being installed on the machine. 

    REG QUERY HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall /s /f SOPHOS 

    Once done, kindly take a registry backup before making any changes in the registry. Kindly check on the below location if there are any remnants of the older Sophos version installed. 

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    ​HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UpgradeCodes
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\UpgradeCodes\
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\  

    Let me know how this goes.
