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?

    Specimen,

    Read my response to Serra.

    Uno Question though. V8 if it were available at all would come unsupported--right. That means I can't update the software I download--period. I play with what I get, and I know that--or at least I thought I did.

    What you're telling me leads me to the conclusion that the program does NOT come with a set of pre-installed and compatibie definitions (outdated/stale though they may be); but has to go to momma for them, and momma can only serve up what she has in the 'frig right now ?!?! ...But doesn't that defeat the whole point about no support, because in effect I'd be getting updated definitions (assuming they were compatible)?!?!
