Your technicians message means you should buy the commercial version in
order of your antivirus to work. Since fedora and redhat are almost the
same, I don't personally agree but you don't mention any technical
argument, just the advertising.

:)

Advertising.... :( no....

IT technicians are experienced in Windows. My machine is Unix based, due to the type of my work, you can say my machine is the odd one out.

Technical argument(s):
  Technicans say: Sophos Anti Virus only supports Red Hat not Fedora
  Me: confused. Not whole heartedly convinced, hence have posted a message here.

"Since fedora and redhat are almost the same" shouldn't Sophos Anti Virus be also supported by Fedora?
