complete retina support

macneuro

hey there,

kind of perfectionistic post, but when will SAV Mac 9.x be complete retina compatible?
its a nice menu-bar icon, but its very pixelated on a retinambp ... not the one i'm proud of to look at daily work, but deactivating it kind of makes it useless due to information-stream.

in the pref-pane, live and web protection are retina-icons, but on-access, auto-update etc... are non retina.


would be geat if you could update it.

annother question: is live-updating now freez-free, on 10.9.2, or should I keep it disabled?

Sincerely,

Chris

    When you say live-updating what part are you referring to?  Live Protection?  Or Automatic scheduling of Sophos AutoUpdate?

    Hey there,

    thanks for your fast answer, okay, and when will 9.1 be out? early 2014 is already gone.

    Exactly, I mean the thread concerning freezes with "Live Protection" and "Web Protection" under 10.9.2

    The freezing still occurs for some users. Unfortunately it's not been possible to recreate this issue in house by our dev team so, as posted on that other thread, we're hoping the community can provide some help with how you use your computer when seeing the problem. If you have any insight pls post on that thread.

    I'm checking when 9.1 will be released to Home Edition users. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

    Okay, thanks, would be nice to here from you.

    I have to overlook some 5-10 macs. is your cloud product inteded for so few macs/pcs, and if "yes", how much would id be for 5 installs, couldn't find a price-overview on your homepage.

    no freezing here with live-protection activated. how does liveprotection work? is it some kind of "push-update"?

    Sincerely,

    Chris

    So far I've not been able to find out an exact date for 9.1's release to Home Edition, however it will probably be offered as a 'preview' to keen users to gain feedback before general availability.  As I said, I'll post a date when I get one.

    For pricing I'd have to defer to Sales (https://secure2.sophos.com/en-us/products/cloud/how-to-buy.aspx).  It is intended for a handful of Macs up to potentially 1000 - or more.  Originally it was aimed at up to 100 computers (Windows only).  Now it supports 100+ with both Windows and Mac supported - and being cloud based it's growing all the time.  However it's ideal for very small networks as you don't need a Windows server and a local database - great for Mac-only environments.  You can take out a free trial and play with just managing you own Mac (one computer) and go from there.  You can control on-access and scheduled scanning as well as device control (e.g., USB pen drives etc.).  I happen to have a (silent) video of installing the local client and then immediately setting up a new central policy for a scheduled scan for a Mac on Cloud so I thought I'd post it...

    It maybe that the freezing occurs with Web Protection and not Live Protection.  Live Protection instantly checks with SophosLabs (a server) about a detection for the very latest information.  It's additional to the signature detection of regular IDE (identity) files that are downloaded to your computer.  There is in overview in the following article.

    Thanks for your answer,

    would be great to read about the release date.

    If you are looking for some testers, I would be "keen" enough - I'm interested.

    Sincerely,

    Chris
