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
