Sophos Home Anti-virus - A Great Choice We have used Sophos home anti-virus products for several years. I appreciate that there is very little user input required to keep the system protected. Sophos works in the background, and updates itself regularly without any user input. Of course it provides very strong protection for our devices.

Issues with Mac OS Big Sur I have been a Sophs customer for several years and subscribe to the Home Premium service. Since my upgrade to Apples Big Sur OS 11.7 I have several times experienced the red shield while indicates no Sophos protection. I also was unable to use the scan function, after malware was detected. Not sure if it is an Apple, or Sophos issue. The chat system is somewhat helpful, but not always. It could be an Apple issue or Sophos, and all I know is that as the end user I have to deal with it. A re start of the Mac seems to clear the issues. I would like a simple to manage protection service that has a consistent level of quality performance.

Sophos seems to do its job well Sophos seems to do its job well. (And, it plays well with others.) On my previous machine -- a 5-year-old iMac, the start-up sequence would sometimes stick while showing a message box from Sophos. This required a re-start. So far, no problem with a new Mac-Mini running OS 12.6. (Note: I do not like forcing a reviewer to accept Terms and Conditions before system accepts the review.)

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.

Super value and super smooth service :-) I have used Sophos on my Macs since 2014, first the free version but since 2019 the very reasonably priced Sophos Home. After moving to MacOS 14, I had a problem getting Sophos to work on my wife's computer, but that issue was solved quickly and competently by the Sophos support team. Really excellent service - much better than what we often get for much higher priced software. Well done Sophos :-)
