Uninstall Sophos Endpoint on macOS with tamper protection activated
<p>The last weeks i was running into a really annoying behavior of Sophos Endpoint Protection on macOS. In most cases i was able to use a simple Terminal command to remove the Sophos Endpoint software, but on some devices the uninstaller failed.</p>
<p>If you want to remove Sophos Anti-Virus for macOS managed by Sophos Central the normal way, you can just use one of the following commands:</p>
<p><strong>Tamper Protection disabled:</strong></p>
<pre>
cd /Library/Application\ Support/Sophos/saas/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/tools/
sudo ./InstallationDeployer --remove --ui</pre>
<p><strong>Tamper Protection enabled:</strong></p>
<pre>
cd /Library/Application\ Support/Sophos/saas/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/tools/
sudo ./InstallationDeployer --remove --ui --tamper_password <password></pre>
