Hello everyone,
We have published a new installer for the 9.4 release to sophos.com:
www.sophos.com/.../sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx
When you download the installer it will upgrade an existing installation to version 9.4, if you are still running 9.2.
New features in this version:
- Detection and cleanup of Potentially Unwanted Applications (adware, spyware, and certain remote access tools fall into this category)
- Updated Quarantine Manager user interface
- Faster and more stable Web Protection filtering
- Faster boot times due to cacheing of previously scanned system files
- Compatible with the System Integrity Protection feature on Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11)
- More reliable updating code when the network condition is less than ideal (you might have heard about this issue in these forums)
- Numerous security and stability improvements
The detection of PUAs for the On-Access scanner will be enabled automatically. These applications will be blocked from running automatically. Its possible we will detect tools that you are using as part of your daily routine - if so you can “authorize” their usage from the new Quarantine Manager window. You can later undo this choice by visiting the Authorizations preferences panel.
Custom scans can also detect and optionally clean up PUAs when detected. Newly created Custom Scans will also enable PUA detection automatically. Check out the Options tab for each scan definition. If you are upgrading from 9.2 your existing Custom Scans will not be changed.
As of Thursday September 25, 2015 all existing installations should automatically upgrade to 9.4.0.
Thanks from the SAV for Mac engineering team!
