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!

    OK. I did go ahead and had Trend Micro installed. So I tried and the Sophos 9.1 preview installed without complaining about Trend being installed (unlike Trend installer, which had wanted Sophos uninstalled first) That did give me both products installed and both defaulted to active scanning, nothing awful happened but it did seem a bit slow, so I went to the preferences Trend Micro has preferences for "Real-time scanning" and "Detect web threats" and the menu pulldown "Detect Web Threats" with/without checkmark Sophos has preferences for "Live protection" and "Web protection" and the menu pulldown "On-access scanning is disabled/enabled" I'm guessing those are equivalents. Appreciating your caution, I've run a day at a time with either Trend or Sophos having those options enabled. That seems to be OK with either product, and the other will do a full or partial system scan.
