I would not worry about it now. Just keep everything as you have it now. I uninstalled sophos as I needed to do something and can't remember now but I've been safe and sophos comes out with updates extremely quickly. I'd google for it as I myself don't have it or check http://www.download.com and see if you can find it there. I would not worry though, or worry as much. Unix is a very stable system and apple are very good at keeping us safe.
