Google: top things people want to remove from their PCs

[if5103ii]

@SophosLabs I am now downloading "Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition". I forgot all about Sophos until today!! :)

[zik1zik]

No cos people just hate these anti viruses

[0SkizniT0]

its probaly becuz these people get these fake antiviruses posing as some antivirus like mcafee or norton but the "antivirus" is actually planting viruses so they wanna remove it

[TheDesertDragon]

The reason why these products are there is that they often come preinstalled in demo versions with your computer and a generally useless and EXTREMELY hard to remove. Back in 2007 I got myself an IBM laptop that came preinstalled with a demo version of Norton Antivirus that could not be removed by regular means. I literally had to hack the registry to make it gtfo.

I have no idea why people can't figure out how to remove Windows Live Messenger though, but oh well.

Don't see no Avast there :)

Net is bussines, use it smart!

[AQHackAQ]

Lol nice one Sophos..

[RegulatorClone]

Sorry to say this but Sophos isnt on there because you arent that well known and globaly used as much as norton and macafee, I used sophos and it is not very user friendly at all, I currently use avast and i would recomend them to all users note they are a free service unlike most others

[1oxo1]

Sophos good, but i see virustotal results everyday and trust me, Sophos isn't the best...

[MATTsixteenohfour]

Haha, Sophos FTW. I doubt anyone who owns it has ever wanted to remove it.

[DRAGOONRULZ123456]

i did not get the point if the video and why was it funny again? fill me in plz

[SophosLabs]

It's funny to us at Sophos, because McAfee and Norton are our biggest competitors - and it seems many people want to remove Norton, McAfee and AVG (according to Google).

McAfee and Symantec are Moriarty to Sophos's Sherlock Holmes. AVG, meanwhile, is Mrs Hudson.

[SizzlingMonkey]

They are pretty big contenders and I could understand why this would make you smile.

Would have been a little embarrassing if Sophos was in there, wouldn't it? :P

The reason people want to remove these Products is Because Often They leave Traces on their pc if they are installing Another Antivirus.
