SAV for Mac 9.1 Preview

bobcook

The engineering team for Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac is happy to announce the availability of a preview of our next significant release for Home Edition. You can download this installer directly from our site using this link:

*** LINK for v9.1 REMOVED - PLEASE VISIT SOPHOS.COM FOR THE LATEST INSTALLER **

It will upgrade an existing 9.0 version if you have one installed and will preserve your existing settings. This update improves stability and performance. No new features, but it addresses issues reported here in the forum.

Now for the FAQ:

  • What does Preview mean? We aren't yet releasing this to all users. We want to get your feedback first, from willing volunteers. Once we are satified this release is good enough for everyone we'll automatically upgrade to this version.
  • Should I reboot after installation? Yes. This version updates the kernel drivers which requires a reboot to be effective. But no need to do it right away. Do it when you are ready.
  • Any new features? Not really. This release addresses issues reported in the forum and brings the Home Edition software up to date with the latest changes in our business versions for Sophos Cloud and on-premise management solutions.
  • Is it safe to run? You've tested it, right? Yes this release has passed our internal quality assurance process. Additionally, the software is nearly the same as what we've been provding to our Sophos Cloud customers for a few months now.

Please post any issues you have, we definitely want to hear about your experience as soon as possible. Thank you!

    Just installed Sophos 9.1 on 10.9.4 and loaded a bunch (7) of tabs all at once in Firefox while watching Activity Monitor for Web intelligence activity. Compared to what I've seen in Sophos 9.0, there was very little, and I didn't see any delay in page loading!

    Tried it again, this time in Opera with The Washington Post and while loading was typically slow, it generated very little CPU usage.

    One thing I noticed during installation was that following the instructions, I rebooted after running the 9.1 installer. I then checked the versions both using the About Sophos menu item and Get Info on the application in the Application folder and both came up as still 9.0. I rebooted again and this time the version showed as 9.1.5 in the menu and 9.1.4 in the Application folder.
