snail speed my job uses sophos for my remote security, absolutely atrocious. itll slow down your computer so much, not to mention the amount of apps it opens every day and keeps running in the background, i have 8 sophos apps running taking up 90% of my memory according to task manager. i really hate this software a lot lol

From Well Respected Leader to another corporate pusher (seller) Their home offering was good, but the recent changes have made it into golden wrapped crap. Official updates for Java development (oracle), The Document foundations Libreoffice.org, Apache foundations apps and much more OFFICIAL app installers and updates are blocked by thier AI, and Exploit mitigation, the program is so highly sensitive that its changed my mind from renewing and submitting samples to literally wanting to uninstall it as soon as my paid period is up. An AV should not INTERFERE with Daily operations!, an AV should have some LOCALIZED control in its agent not having to continuously connect to the cloud to apply a rule, why not make the agent sync with the cloud? Why is support not usefull but a bunch of wasted time? why can't i control my account not to auto-renew? without having to go to third-party billing partners? why has sophos went with the american (greed) profits model and quality has gone to the dogs? what happened to the Brits model of providing a decent offering?

Signed up to a free trial of Sophos… Signed up to a free trial of Sophos Home Premium. As soon as the trial expired, more my traffic to more than 50% of websites started bing blocked. Needless to say I wasn't inspired with confidence so didn't convert to being a paid customer.

Sophos on your Mac is the worse thing you can do Putting Sophos on your Mac is the worst possible thing you can do. On my iMac (Ventura) everything slowed down to glacial pace making it almost impossible to use - constant restarts necessary. Before I found it was Sophos that was causing a problem I did several clean installs, checked RAM thoroughly, threw away loads of software and replaced my internal drive. Getting rid of Sophos cured it all. And in a quarter of a century of Mac computing I've never encountered a virus...

Paid for the premium service, got the trial instead. Paid for the premium service, never got to use any premium features. After paying and activating premium the software continues to countdown the trial days until expiration. Contacted support, they sent me a non https:// link with instructions to click and download an .exe file so they can enter my system remotely to have a look on what's going on... I'm sorry, what?! Still didn't got any refund by the way. Avoid Sophos. Waste of time.
