By observation, Sophos uses this first scan to optimize subsequent scans. The scan took an hour and 15 minutes, just slightly longer than the current average of an hour and four minutes. On our standard clean test system, the scan quickly reached 96% completion, but it then slowed precipitously.

I used a free trial of the premium edition for this review I assume that Buy Premium vanishes once you’ve paid. Dashboard and Add Device take you to the remote management console, and Buy Premium starts the purchase process. The local client features a simple left-rail menu with five items: Status, Dashboard, Add Device, Buy Premium, and Help. Norton’s latest antivirus ties in with AMSI in a similar fashion. Briefly, this lets PowerShell, Windows Script Host, and similar applications call on a registered antivirus for help when they detect a scripting operation that might not be on the level. AMSI Protection, turned on by default, ties Sophos into the Windows AntiMalware Scan Interface. Here’s a point of interest you may encounter when exploring the Dashboard. It’s quite a different setup from most antivirus utilities. You can even launch a scan of the remote computer if necessary. They don’t have access to the controls, as long as you don’t give them the login credentials. Since all configuration happens in this online dashboard, your friends and family members can’t mess up their antivirus installation. The Web tab (also reached by clicking Web Protection on the Status tab) similarly contains settings that you shouldn’t turn off.

If you like, you can set Sophos to run a full antivirus scan on any day of the week. The one exception is turning on the scheduler. Most users shouldn’t touch the controls on the General tab, as doing so would turn off various protective features. Well, any except Privacy Protection-that one takes you to the Privacy page.
Note that clicking any of the feature panels on the Status tab takes you to the corresponding area on the Protection tabs. This tab has four sub-tabs: General, Exploits, Ransomware, and Web. That leaves the Protection tab, the place where everything happens. The Privacy page just contains Webcam Protection, and Web Filtering lets you configure the parental control system. On the History page, you see a list of everything Sophos has done to protect you, with an option to filter on different event types. The Status page features five large panels representing five protective components: Antivirus Protection, Web Protection, Ransomware Protection, Privacy Protection, and Malicious Traffic Detection. When you select a device, you get a page with five tabs: Status, History, Protection, Web Filtering, and Privacy. Either way, it both installs Sophos and connects the installation to your account for remote management.

Click any device for more details and configuration options, or click Add Device to extend protection to another PC or Mac. The main screen of your dashboard displays all the devices you've protected, each with a number representing outstanding notifications. Once you pass 10 devices, McAfee costs less per device than Sophos, but Sophos beats the rest price-wise. McAfee also goes for $59.99 per year, but that price gets you unlimited installations on every Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS device in your household. Quite a few others come in at that just-under-$40 mark. With Bitdefender, ESET NOD32 Antivirus, and Kaspersky, you pay $39.99 per year for just one license and $59.99 per year for three. For $60 per year, you can install the product on up to 10 PCs or Macs. But even premium protection isn't expensive. That edition is gone, replaced by a 30-day free trial of the premium edition.
Sophos used to offer a feature-limited free edition that allowed you to protect up to three computers. And it costs much less than the competition. It’s an especially good choice if you manage antivirus protection for family members or friends. This product managed perfect detection in our malware protection and malicious URL detection tests. Consumers can get that same high-end antivirus protection in the form of Sophos Home Premium. Business-level antivirus is all about central management, and Sophos is a big name in that realm. When a big company’s CISO deploys an antivirus system, she doesn’t want every random employee to meddle with it.
