Thanks. I know, the difficulty of uninstalling Sophos is part of the barrier to getting rid of it. ?? I seem to recall having done it several times in the past, for some reason. I think Sophos was inconsistent with at least one OS update I did and that was a big PITA.
Appreciate the advice and help.

Thanks for the valuable info, Randy. I've had Sophos for so long that I have an automatic disincentive to switching. But I'll certainly think about it now. Do you know what would happen if I installed VirusBarrier now, on top of Sophos? Would there be some sort of conflict?
I¡¯m sure that it wouldn¡¯t, because Virus Barrier doesn¡¯t install anything deep in your System, so there would be nothing to cause a conflict. But the point is that Sophos is like a time bomb on your system and shouldn¡¯t be there for any reason. I think of Sophos as being WORSE than having malware.
You can¡¯t uninstall Sophos by simply dragging its icon to the trash. Here are the instructions for uninstalling it:
