Now suddenly when I open outlook I'm back to the ghastly, slow 'full' version with all…

Sophos antivirus for Windows - any experience?
Anybody have any experience using Sophos's free antivirus for Windows?

Sophos have a pretty good name in the security business, just wondering how their antivirus performs.
