Where to Download Sophos Anti Virus (SAV) Home Edition 9.5.2 Reffered to as "Classic" (now that there also is a "Cloud" Edition)

We still offer support for both the "classic" Home Edition as well as the new Sophos Home product, although we are definitely emphasizing the Sophos Home product much more and recommend users start with that.

The "classic" installer is available at this link: https://www.sophos.com/Pages/DownloadRedirect.aspx?downloadKey=C6047494-CDB4-42DC-A3D6-57FF447DB739

I also suggest getting involved in the Sophos Home community forum to champion the features you feel the product is missing. That team continues to work hard to build out the feature set that consumers need, and will appreciate your honest feedback.

Hope that helps.

Hi Bob

The "classic" installer downloaded from that link appears to have a file missing. When I run the "classic" installer from that link it fails with the message:

• The Installer Cannot Continue - The "Sophos Installer Components" folder is missing required files. View install.log for more information.

The downloaded file (savosx_he_r.zip) unpacks to a folder containing

• Sophos Anti-Virus Home Edition (Application)
• Sophos Installer Components (Folder)
  • av-data (Folder)
  • savi-bundle (Bundle)
  • (there is no .plist file) <<< is this file missing?

My Mac is running macOS latest release (non-beta)

Thanks in advance

Tim

I am getting the same error.

Does anyone monitor this forum - its been a week, and still the currently downloaded installer fails.

This is a well known phenomenon with the new Gatekeeper features in macOS Sierra. A workaround is covered by a knowledge base article here:

Many thanks for the fix: I was aware of Gatekeeper, just didn't realise that it was the root of the problem.
