    Sorry, but that is pure here say and speculation at this point. Sophos has not spoken definitively on the subject, and I wish they would sooner rather than later. 

    What we know from the evidence at hand people are having problems, and my personal experience on my Macs is one of total system lock-up when scanning anything over 600 MB. Mind you one of those Macs was a freshly formatted drive, new install of Mac OS 10.6.3 and updated, only Apple software on the drive, nothing third-party save for Sophos Home.

    Contrast that with my Enterprise experience where I had nearly 1,000 computers in my bailiwick, all of which - Mac & PC - functioned flawlessly scanning drives of hundreds of gigabytes. And I emphasize - the Macs did NOT get managed from a central server. They were stand-alone just like with Home, and looked to Sophos directly for their updates. 

    I just cannot honestly state this is the same software at all. Others may be more comfortable saying so, but until Sophos comes forward and gives a definitive answer, I simply cannot believe them.
