Sophos has been simply outstanding

Sophos has been simply outstanding! When windows update installed a bad update that greatly affected computers, Sophos told me how to uninstall that update and get my computer up and running again. My computer is always kept clean of viruses, trojans, ransomware etc... Malicious websites blocked. I can't see any reason to give Sophos a rating any less than A+++++

Sopos Home is unnoticeable

Sopos Home is unnoticeable as it just runs in the background, I have used this program for a couple of years now, it doesn't slow the computer at all and will detect something wrong then stop it.

Quiet yet always on the job

I like Sophos because it stays out of my way, yet is diligent in protecting our computers, tablets and phones against malware, trojans and all the other nasties that are out there. I can individually scan downloaded files, set up periodic scans that will exclude my backup drives as desired, and receive quick warnings about potential phishing websites.

I've been using Sophos Home for a few years now and have never yet had any problems with it. It just does its work in the background and updates regularly. There's no impact to computer performance. Some security softwares slow your computer down but this one doesn't. The web based control panel offers various settings you can switch on or off and you can also add additional computers to your account which will also be kept secure with Sophos Home.

So far so good

So far so good. Hope you will have an IOS version for protection of the iPhone, like Norton or Mcafee.

Why the "Welcome to Sophos" box every reboot?

I assume all of the threat detection services are working as promised. But I hate that every time either of our two Macs are rebooted, The "welcome to Sophos Home" box appears - just like when we first installed the app. When clicking "Let's Start" button, it takes you into the Preferences menu, but Sophos is already given permissions as requested.

Good work

I have used Sophos for almost 30 years between work and home. The fact that I can set it and forget it (well, you know, with minor intervention) is perfect.
It's on every PC in my house (all 2 of them) and will remain so... Thanks from America!

Sophos blocked any use of Safari

Just after the software downloaded new data, I was unable to complete any search in Safari; I was running the latest versions of the Mac OS and Safari 16. After a long conversation with Apple, it was only after removing Sophos completely from my computer that Safari was able to reach any website.
