It's up to you if you want an anti-virus or not, decide for yourself. Don't let anyone else decide for you.
What makes you say that Sophos "stopped you from doing updates" ? That sounds very strange to me, as it's never stopped me from doing any. Do you mean system updates or updates for Sophos itself ?
You can disable on-access scanning for it with the following command:
Code:
/path/to/sophos/folder/savdctl disable
Replace "/path/to/sophos/folder" with the actual path to the Sophos installation folder.
Yes, Sophos looks for all viruses, both Windows as well as Linux viruses.
