Can anyone tell me what "Sophos" is? I believe it's something to do with Antivirus in MacKeeper. Whatever it is, it's generating a ton of error messages, and I'd like to remove it, but can't find any reference to "Sophos" anywhere on my MacBook Pro. This is driving me nuts, please help!

Can the MacKeeper Antivirus be uninstalled somehow?
