Re-enable ASLR on 64-bit machines with sophos installed

As probably many other people also read in the news, the force-injection of the sophos_detoured.dll into all programs effectively disables ASLR on 64-bit platforms.

So how do I prevent Sophos from force-loading this DLL, as it is (AFAIK) unneccessary on 64-bit systems anyway. Can I just remove it from AppInit or will it come back on the next definition update?

Oops- so I found out the ASLR-disabling was already fixed.
Still I'm curious if the BOPS is actually needed on Windows x64. What does it do that Improved DEP and ASLR on Win64 doesn't already do?
