Which installer runs the Competitor Removal Tool (CRT)?

The correct answer is that the Sophos Anti-Virus installer runs the Competitor Removal Tool (CRT). This tool is designed to assist in the uninstallation of rival antivirus software from a system. When deploying Sophos Anti-Virus, the CRT is utilized to ensure a clean slate by removing competing products that may interfere with Sophos' performance or functionality.

This capability is particularly important in maintaining an effective security posture because having multiple antivirus solutions on a single system can cause conflicts, leading to reduced efficiency and increased vulnerability. The Sophos Anti-Virus is tailored for this task as it directly addresses competitors in the antivirus market, thereby promoting a smooth installation process for Sophos products.

In contrast, while the Anti-Malware Suite, Sophos Endpoint Defender, and Sophos Firewall focus on different aspects of security—such as overall malware protection, endpoint defense, and network security—none of these installers specifically trigger the Competitor Removal Tool. Thus, understanding the role of each component helps clarify why the Sophos Anti-Virus is the appropriate choice in this scenario.
