net stop “Sophos Anti-Virus status reporter”
net stop “Sophos AutoUpdate Service”
net stop “Sophos Message Router”
net stop “Sophos Web Control Service”
net stop “Sophos Web Intelligence Service”
del C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\data\machine_ID.txt
reg delete “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sophos\Remote Management System\ManagementAgent\Private” /v pkp /f
reg delete “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sophos\Remote Management System\ManagementAgent\Private” /v pkc /f
reg delete “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sophos\Messaging System\Router\Private” /v pkp /f
