Version 8 Questions

Mukmu
Will the Sophos Autoupdate update my version 7.3.10C to Version 8? I saw that the new version was released April 3 (?) and when the Update window was open, it downloaded a 62 MB file but it's still Version 7.3. Will I have to download it manually or will it roll out later through autoupdate?

    [EDIT 2] "If you're an existing user, you don't need to do anything—you'll be updated automatically." - This is not yet true.  Refer to Bob's comment in this thread.

    The main new features are that SAV 8 includes scheduled scanning, live "in the cloud" lookups to verify detected files (resulting in fewer false-positives), and an improved user interface -- based partly on the feedback from this forum.  It also includes under-the-hood improvements in how it interacts with OS X, which should fix the problems some users have been having with encrypted or backup volumes.
