I currently have Sophos 7.2.4 on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.5.6) downloaded a year ago from when this was a university owned computer. Should I now download the free version 7.2. home edition or is what I aleady have superior / just as good? My husband just had the System Tool malware virus and I want to make sure that I am up-to-date with my protection. Thanks for any help. Lorraine

The one you have is the Enterprise version, as compared to the Home version you can download for free.  Functionally, they are almost identical, with your version having a few extra features tied to the management console.  Both pieces of software consume the same protection data from SophosLabs, and are on the same software update track -- so as far as actual protection goes, they're identical.
