Should I update to Version 8

I have version 7.3.10C of the free home edition on my iMac.  The Sophos info says I will be automatically updated to version 8.  This has not happened.  However, I wonder if I  should even initiate a manual update to version 8.  Are there enough advantages to offset known and unresolved bugs?

  • Hello Bob, automatic upgrade to v8 was initially planned for second half of may or so. Meanwhile - as you know - some issues have surfaced which will have to be corrected first. Neither the ability to schedule scans nor Live Protection (as useful as it is) would IMO warrant a manual upgrade to v8 right now - again, this is my personal opinion (in case you wonder, I'm running v8 - without problems - but in a corporate environment and none of the "sophisticated" applications and features like TM, Bootcamp and their ilk ;-) ...)
