Is it possible to still obtain Mac SAV v8

zoespbf

I have an iMac that is almost 10 years old and I use it for software I depend on. I want to continue using the machine.  It runs OS X 10.4.11.

I have Norton Antivirus installed that was 'retired' in 2011 or 2012--i.e., it's unsupported. 'Unsupported' is about the only AV protection I could hope for. Sophos v8 wasn't retired until last year, so it's newer than I have, and deals with Malware which mine does not.

Despite v8 having been officially retired, would it still be possible to obtain a copy of the most up-to-date installer?

I'm sure Sophos still has the software available, though unsupported. Is there a Sophos ftp site I could go to?

    Indeed it is a false sense of security, no AV can protect you for the unpatched vulnerabilities in an unsupported OS version (by Apple), that machine shouldn't probably connect directly to the Internet.

    Also, I might be wrong, but the current definitions might not even be compatible with the older version. So, you could still run the program but you wouldn't have any malware definitions to work with.
