Strange problem with Sophos AntiVirus
Hello, I’m trying to uninstall Sophos Antivirus so that i can reinstall it again. The saga started a while back when i suddenly couldn’t open Sophos at all because it claimed that an image was missing and when i tried to quit, the application got into an endless loop where it popped up the dialog about that it couldn’t open time and time again. I stupidly uninstalled only the application portion and forgot that deep in the system there was this Sophos agent that should be turned off before uninstalling, now the real fun begins: Every time the computer starts up i get this message saying that the Sophos agent couldn’t be opened because of an unexpected error a help button and an ok button. Pressing the ok button makes the dialog go away a couple minutes at best but then it comes right back again and pressing ok only pops it up again. I have chosen to ignore the dialog because i don’t know what to do and how to do it to get rid of the offending component and reinstall Sophos again. I have been into the login items page, but Sophos agent can’t be found. I have tried to kill processes but no process with the name ”Sophos agent” is present. I have tried to throw away components from the /user/library but it can’t be done because a component is in use. What can i do? /Krister -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: Iphone 5c question?
Hi, the IPhone is a little like a Labrador, super cutesy, and definitely eager to do anything you can throw at it , i had one when i was. In home nursing , it saved my tail and gorgeous mane more than once. At least maps works, but then again, don’t expect any heavy lifting, it is not what it is made for.

Re: Strange problem with Sophos AntiVirus
Hi, Go into Macintosh HD, Library. There should be items in there. It's been a while since I've ever removed them since we don't use Sophos anymore. Check under Application support, Launch Items, Launch Daemons and Startup Items. When removing items from these locations, you will likely need to enter your password and you'll need to restart your Mac before you can empty the Trash. Later...

I also tested it with a rather long explanation of security, authentication and authorization within the base level of the MacOS. After about 10 minutes, the Login Panel had not reared its ugly head.

RE: Strange problem with Sophos AntiVirus
Hi Krister, I know I've struck a similar situation like this a couple of years back where the Sophos version I used wasn't working well with I think it was OS X 10.10 at the time. We had a link to a Sophos page that had a script that you could run which would remove the old version of Sophos getting rid of everything from it's installation. I will check this one with our security team on Monday if you can hang on that long. Otherwise may be searching for a Sophos removal tool would be a good solution . -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Krister Ekstrom Sent: Saturday, 4 November 2017 5:12 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Strange problem with Sophos AntiVirus Hello, I’m trying to uninstall Sophos Antivirus so that i can reinstall it again.
