Sophos for Mac md5 checksums missing from Sophos website!

Tezcatlipoca

The FAQ page for Sophos for Mac ( http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition/faqs.aspx ) has a link for the md5 checksum for the OS X 10.4 - 10.7 version, here:

http://downloads.sophos.com/home-edition/savosx_he.md5

There also used to be a checksum available for the OS X 10.8 version, by changing the name at the end of the URL to match the name of the OS X 10.8 version of the installer image.

Neither of these pages seem to exist anymore, though.

All you get now is "File not found."

Why have the checksums been removed?

Also, why is there no direct link for the OS X 10.8 checksum anyway?

    Unfortunately, this is still not available for 10.8.  I realize that this is probably not the top of the priority list, but for those of us who are security-minded, having a missing checksum file could indicate that the file is indeed compromised. I don't believe that to be the case, but it doesn't give the impression that Sophos is on the ball.

    Personally, I've switched until I can verify the file.
