Is Sophos Anti-Virus 9.4.2 not available anymore? Is this product being discontinued?

Hi Everyone,

I have Sophos Anti-Virus 9.4.2 on my Mac Desktop with OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite. I'm thinking up upgrading to 10.11. I went on Sophos free download tools, but all I see is the Home Cloud edition.

Is this product discontinued, and if so, will it work on 10.11?

Thank you in advance!

Go to https://www.sophos.com/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx and click on the link underneath "Get Sophos Home" which says "Use older free Mac AV instead>." That should allow you to log into the download site using the Get Started button.

Boy I've been looking for a newer download, or the older one, and couldn't find it anywhere.

Thank you for the info ZRL1!

P.S.

Is the home edition a much better solution now?

Thanks again!

I haven't tried the Home edition but this link https://community.sophos.com/products/free-antivirus-tools-for-desktops/f/17/t/75096 describes the biggest difference. It's also my understanding that the "older" version offers more user control, which I prefer; others might not.
