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 explaining things in this thread. Follow up question however...

    I've had browsers open in the background, but nothing running - just static pages...and I walk away for 8 hours with SophosWebIntelligence at around 50k/50k... Can you explain why then when I come back to my computer several hours later, over a gig of data has not only been shown as processed incoming but OUTGOING as well via the process?

    Again, there's nothing happening on my computer in the web browsers.

    Naturally WireShark is going up next but just wanted to inquire as to this behavior.
