I used Sophos' own app (in the Applications/Sophos folder) to uninstall the antivirus program from my MacBook Pro. It went through some steps and ended by saying the uninstall was unsuccessful. If I check Applications, the Sophos folder is no longer there, nor is its icon on the top of the Mac window. However, if I run Activity Monitor, there are still several Sophos items shown, such as SophosMCSAgentD, SophosScanD, SophosAgent, Sophos Home, etc. At least when I checked, no one item was taking up more than 0.2% CPU.
There are some technical support items on Sophos' website dealing with this failure to uninstall, which are not very straightforward. My question is whether I could just ignore the remaining Sophos items or do I have to go through the task of removing them?
Thanks.
