[QUOTE="goodjohnjr, post: 1005954, member: 73546"] You are welcome. No, I do not go that deep in my tests, it does scan faster than Malwarebytes Free, and it does detect tracking cookies that Malwarebytes does not. I am trying to make a free layered security setup that is mostly set and forget, something that I can recommend and / or install for others, and not have to worry about them manually updating and doing scans. Sophos Scan & Clean is basically a somewhat stripped down free version of HitmanPro it seems, so their detection should be similar; so far I have only seen maybe one video on YouTube test Sophos Scan & Clean since it is pretty new, there may be more now. My current security setup I am using / testing for Microsoft Windows is: Windows Security set to Recommended settings by DefenderUI, Adguard DNS default public servers at the router & operating system & web browser level, Sophos Scan & Clean set to automatically scan on startup with Windows Task Scheduler, uBlock Origin or Adguard Browser Extension & sometimes Malwarebytes Browser Guard, and web browser security / privacy settings turned on & set to balanced – high. For Android: Google Play Protect, Sophos Intercept X For Mobile For Android, Adguard DNS default public servers set as the Private DNS, and a web browser with ad blocking (Brave Browser, Firefox with uBlock Origin, Microsoft Edge with Adblock Plus).
