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!

    Hi,

    just downloaded version 9.1 becouse of resently update problems with 9.0.11, the update stopped working of and on, so sometimes its working and sometimes not (the 9.0.11 version) manual update almost always works.

    before it al worked fine. so, following your manual i uninstalled 9.0.11 (from applications "Remove Sophos Anti-virus) and rebooted, suprice, Sophos 9.0.11 is still running.

    second advise from your forem, you can install 9.1 over the old version and it will update to the new version and keep your settings, (nice, i have a few like don't scan external backup drives, there is nothing on them that is not on my Mac, so no use, you don't want to scan 6 TB)

    so, i installed 9.1 over the 9.0.11 version becouse i cant uninstall that version, not working, install error (the installation faild)

    any advice?

    And yes, i have the free version, cant insert a pic becouse your upload don't support .tiff
