[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 943055, member: 59691"] I wouldn't say that it's too light but not too heavy, but there are definitely lighter solutions out there. At the moment I don't recommend the home version of Sophos, if you check out the tests in the Malware Hub here on MalwareTips you will understand. 😄 It does have a free version, but it's pretty basic and can't keep up with Kaspersky Free, Microsoft Defender or Bitdefender Free if you ask me. I think Sophos Home Premium has a lot of potential but things like their AMSI scanning (script protection) have to be improved in the future if it wants to compete with the big players like Kaspersky. After all it's not right to say that Sophos is bad, it has good ranswomware protection and also good exploit protection. (thanks to HitmanPro.Alert) If you wan't to give it a try then do it, I'm sure it will offer solid protection after all. Keep in mind that I'm using the business version at the moment, so the protection may differ from the home version, as some modules are missing in the version for Home users.
