There is a broken Sophos entry in Keychain Access after uninstalling the program - how do I remove it?
To fix this you have to manually edit the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security-common.plist, as root, and delete the corresponding hardcoded &lt;dict&gt;...Sophos...&lt;/dict&gt; entry in there. 

Great care must be taken because you can totally screw up  your system(-keychain) if you leave any errors inside this .plist file. The section that needs to be deleted looks as follows:

...
&lt;dict&gt;
    &lt;key&gt;DbName&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;string&gt;/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Sophos.keychain&lt;/string&gt;
    &lt;key&gt;GUID&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;string&gt;{some UUID string here}&lt;/string&gt;
    &lt;key&gt;SubserviceType&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;integer&gt;6&lt;/integer&gt;
&lt;/dict&gt;
...


Upon save, there should no longer be any "Sophos" entry in Keychain Access or as output of security list-keychains.

I used vim and deleted the offending lines as (sudo vim /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security-common.plist) but you may use any text or plist editor you like - I frankly don't know with one is the most accessible (recommendations welcome).
