[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1782293, member: 83420"] Also, I have to tell you that although not alone in this, Sophos has been blamed by many users on the net for blocking Apple Updates. This happens because the update requires access to the OS and Sophos sees it as a "threat". Users suggest disabling it when updating. This, together with what Sly said, makes it a pointless exercise installing AV. Worse still, in many cases uninstalling an AV and all its ramifications within OS can be very difficult. Avoid them!
