Anyone know of a nice way of removing Sophos Anti-Virus?

Once Tamper Protection is off:
Uninstall Sophos Endpoint using a command prompt
To uninstall Sophos Endpoint, do as follows:
- Open a command prompt as an administrator.
- Enter
cd C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Endpoint Agent\
- Run
SophosUninstall.exe
with any required parameters.--quiet
runs the uninstaller silently.- The LanguageID is the standard decimal or hexadecimal code for the language. Make sure you use the same language that was used for installation.

@Joseph an easier solution might be the ESET AV Remover
I've used it in the past to remove other AV products and it usually does a pretty good job. It looks like Sophos Home / Endpoint Agent / Endpoint Security and Control are all supported. But if that doesn't work, you might need to go with @tanderson's solution.

Thanks @dyoder didn't know ESET have an AV remover! Will give it a shot!

I have found the best solution to be fire.
A little here a little there and the AV goes away, there is a slight side effect though.
Quote often its sets of the fire alarm. Sophos gives off very toxic fumes when burnt.
Hope that helps.
Dave.
