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,

    It's precisely because of banking that I purchased the (inexpensive) HP--to enable me to access my bank and vendor websites. That and my email and facebook is all that I really use the internet access from that machine for--NO browsing. It also gives me portability when/if I need it.  Thanks for the advice about Flash & Java. I've reduced my use of the Mac for browsing, but I do use it and carefully, so for now at least I'll leave Flash and Java intact. The hard drive is almost 10 years old, so it's on borrowed time. When it goes I'll replace it, but I probably won't reinstall any of the internet related apps--just the 'functional' apps that serve my needs and don't rely on the internet. I'm a gal who still has her flip-phone, and I'm happy as hell (my hero is Leroy Jethro Gibbs, btw  :smileylol:). I'll probably use that as an opportunity to come into the 21st century, and get a smart phone to extend my internet access (which btw I refuse to use for banking--gotta have a wired connection for that). If I really want to do 'heavy' internet access (which isn't very often), I plan to use the computers at my library. It's only about a mile away and they have stronger AV protection than I have. They have a 2 hour time limit which, in most instances, is more than enough. If they restrict access to certain sites, it's all the better--I likely wouldn't want to go there anyway.
