It appears the latest update of Sophos has a virus/malware in it. By buying MacKeeper I was able to remove the Sophos Program and it's non-functioning Uninstaller. This has allowed me to use Safari without the pop-up every 3 seconds, but my machine is still buggy. I cannot open Chrome, Word, Excel, many websites or any of the other programs I need daily. Sophos has no Mac support, and nobody has responded to this query for help. My only conclusion is that Sophos neither knows much about Mac or wants to help or support Mac Users. This is very sad. It's even more astonishing to discover that my first Mac virus was carried into my machine on the back of an anti-virus program. Now that's a first - an antivirus that IS a virus.
