Is this all there is???

I just downloaded the free version of Sophos Home edition for the Mac and am running OS 10.9

The screenshot attached seems to be the only screens available with this version. Is this correct and is what I see, is what I get with the free version? ... or did I miss something in the download.

When I ran the scan it got down to about 5,500 files/folders then quit. The message said:

This scan has never been completed.

No threats found.

Issues detected

The "Issues detected" has been referenced in the messages left on the board and seems to be a non-issue. Really?

Does the home version catch trojans as well as viruses?

Is there an online manual where I can get further info on the workings of the software?

Feedback appreciated... regards (lenny33)

The screenshot look OK - a clean minimal program design.

The 'Issues Detected' is generally a non issue. It's just alerting to a problem scanning a file but I'd never seen a serious problem.

The Home Edtion is the same as the paid version so it scans/detects malware like Trojans, Worms, and Viruses.
