Has anyone tried Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac ?

Hi Thomas,

Since you mentioned that you have tried both ClamxAv and Sophos in your Lion OS, I just want to check with you whether both of these software are easy to uninstall if I don't need it in future. Did it affect your system performance or cause any issues in your Lion OS once you uninstalled it ?

The reason I'm asking is because I had AVG 2012 free anti-virus software on my old laptop (Windows XP) but decided to uninstall it last night. There were so many issues when I tried to uninstall it and not everything associated to this software was removed from the system, hence affecting my system performance. I tried AVG forum, etc and there were many users that experienced the same issues. There were no fixes for many of the users as the AVG removal tool provided by AVG does not work for everyone.

Thanks.

Thanks for the link, Thomas. Read your article on the Mac anti-virus detection rates. Great assessment. Some of the results were a shock to me. But it was definitely worth reading your review. I will be going with your recommendation of Sophos for Mac. Cheers.
