Home version for Mac sending out data?

I caught Sophos Mac Home having sent out 150MB of data. Is this program intended to send out any type of information? If so, what is being sent out?

I've removed the software for now.

  • Reinstalled Sophos Home at maybe 10pm, updated, and then started a full scan. Just checked again around 2am to see how much it has sent, and it's saying almost a GB of data sent. It's only a third of the way through the initial scan.

    I've been watching streaming video, and just letting it scan in the background. Again, I have a lot of data, video I've shot and edited, tons of photos and a large iTunes library as well.
