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.

    Thanks for your reply, Bob.

    But then how do you explain, for example, if I download a 1.28GB mail archive file from Google the SophosWebInteligence process receives AND sends 1.28GB according to my Mac's Activity Monitor / Network tab?

    Surely this means exactly what I said earlier: every received byte (so yes, full content of a user's web access) goes back up through the Sophos servers? This is not just checksums and URLs.

    It doesn't happen if I disable the Sophos Web Protection with the ON/OFF sliders.

    Perhaps this is not what is intended, but it's what happens.
