Version 9.5.2 Released Today

bobcook

Hello everyone,

We just released Sophos Anti-Virus Home Edition version 9.5.2 to all users today. This version has been in "preview" status for a couple of months and we've had great feedback. Thanks to the people who installed the preview, we got more than seven thousand installs since its availability in early June.

You should see approximately a 30mb download followed by the update. As mentioned a long time ago, we do not support macOS 10.6 or 10.7 any longer, and the installation will fail. We do fully support macOS 10.8 and up, and this version should correct the updating issue seen on later versions of the Sierra 10.12 public beta builds.

Thanks for your support and let us know about issues you encounter.

    In recent days my Time Machine backups have been very slow. After some experimentation, I think it is related to Sophos.

    I have a USB3 WD Passport, encrypted. My main HD (MBP, SSD, El Cap) is also encrypted. The TM drive is on the Sophos excluded list.

    Time Machine will start, but will backup about 1.9 MB in 30 minutes.

    If I turn off Sophos, the backup runs at the normal rate (~ 5Gb in 10 min).

    Are there any logs I can collect for Sophos to trouble shoot? My gut tells me it is related to the internal SSD in the MBP, not the external TM, but I cannot be sure.

    Same here with Time Machine now very slow since V9.5.2.

    Both for a networked Time Capsule and USB3 attached drive.

    Backups are MANY times faster with Sophos on-access scanner turned off.

    Also, for many months now I've rarely been able to burn a DVD successfully with Sophos on. I haven't explored it thoroughly, as I also turn Time Machine off as well, and just get on with it. With just Time Machine off, DVD burning still fails. I haven't tried with only Sophos on-access scanning and/or auto-updating turned off.
