Unique Sophos Features

Sophos Home boasts its next-generation artificial intelligence that is built with deep learning so it can preemptively detect and block viruses. Most viruses attack without the prior notice of users.

The antivirus software offers reliable security and privacy services for home computers. It watches out for any new kind of threats. Modern threats like potentially unwanted apps, bots, exploits, malware, phishing attacks, ransomware attacks, rootkits, spyware, Trojans, viruses, and worms are prevented from causing more damage to computers. The secret behind its capabilities comes from searching and analyzing every suspicious behavior as well as observing activities. Everything is monitored 24/7 by SophosLabs for constant surveillance of the latest online threats.

The antivirus software is built for dealing with several kinds of threats. It prevents ransomware from stealing confidential files and getting encrypted by hackers. Most ransomware victims are forced to pay the hacker as a ransom for the decryption key. The antivirus software will initiate a rollback to the computer’s previous condition if it receives questionable encrypted data. The software performs deep virus cleaning that can remove all traces of malware in computers. Users can view their computer’s status with the Remote Security Management feature. It provides convenient system management on the go. They can add multiple computers in their Sophos account. The surveillance system utilizes Cloud Management Dashboard where everything is observable under a web browser.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
