Home version for Mac sending out data?

v8media

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.

    I did some testing on this today.  I ran a scan while watching a YouTube video playlist.  Data out for the SWI process does seem to increase when watching YouTube.  If I graph the rate it is linear with or without running a scan.
