I use Sophos Anti-Virus on my Macbook Pro. Do I need additional protection for Spyware?

Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac currently only detects items that are to some degree malicious. This includes most spyware and some software cracks and key generators, but does not at this date include adware, commercial keyloggers and monitoring software, remote access tools, hacking tools, or other software that does not harm your computer, but may be undesirable. However, the core detection engine does handle these as well, and you can expect to see support for these in a future release of the Home Edition product.
I hope that answers your question.
