Updating from 7.3 to 8.0.6 when Sophos is provided by Uni

Deb_B

Our university provides access to Sophos for students and staff. I have been using version 7.3 for some time with no problems, but since upgrading my computer to Mountain lion, I have had problems with Sophos and with the computer itself running slow, heating up etc. I have read here that a newer version is needed. However, our university is still only providing the link to the 7.3 installer. Auto update is not loading the new version...Is there any way of getting hold of the new version myself?

Also, I removed the UI login item as I was concerned it was causing conflicts with the OS, as it was using too much CPU. I now have "intercheck" using large amounts of CPU. How do I get rid of it, or fix it?

Thanks

    Hello Deb_B,

    What does "unmanaged" mean?

    It's the opposite of managed :smileywink:. Seriously - a managed installation updates from the site's server(s), to a certain extent the site has control over which version to deploy. Clients will report their version (OS and SAV) and SAV status to a central server ("Console"). Policies (i.e. the various settings) are centrally set, if you make changes your Mac will alert the Console. Details of detections will also be sent, and if they haven't been dealt with (cleaned or deleted) an appropriate action can in many cases be initiated from the Console.

    Thus your university might prefer to know about the health of your SAV and to the extent described be able to monitor and manage it. Dunno about their general and support policies though.
