Sophos for Mac V9

Dear Sir

I am currently a user of the Free version of Sophos Anti Virus for Mac, I am using Version 8.0.22C of two Macs one running OS 10.6.8 and the other running 10.7.5. I have read that there will be no support for my version after April 2014, is this so?  If so will I be automatically upgarded to version 9 or do I have to install it myself?  I note that version 9 has additional support for web browsing, has this been tested against Safari and are there any known issues.  I had to replace Intego software with Sophos some ywo years ago as the Intego software caused problems with the Sandbox in Safari and stopped Safair working.  I don't want to repeat the experience!  I am not technically minded so tech free explanantions would be appreciated!

    Pretty much.  Version 9 is a newer program and therefore there are benefits running it over version 8 - but yes, protection-wise.

    Bob would know better than me, but I don't think the details have been fully finalized.  Why wait, just upgrade! :smileyhappy:
