Sophos

 

[Xeno1234]

For real though, the only external one I know is Checkpoint Harmony, which is more of a business solution than one tailored to home users.

I ask as home software

Then I dont have any ideas. If you want Sophos's engine, you probably should just use Sophos.

Isn't Sophos Home free? Or was that in the past? I don't use Sophos AV since their engine is something to be desired. You get lighter and better performance from F-secure or ESET. If I recall correctly, few years ago Windows built in defender scored higher than Sophos.

I think Hitman Pro Alert uses Sophos engine. But it's not a full fledged AV it's more along the lines of a secondary backup. A sanity check scanner.

What an interesting sample of another antivirus, but I think if the author doesn't want to buy a $50 Sophos, it's unlikely he's going to want to buy this for $60 in minimal kit.

I've never understood why non-names just entering the market (or at least not known to anyone) put prices higher than many old and proven players, but that's almost always the case.

In general I don't really understand why to look specifically for the Sophos engine, never heard before that they have the best engine on the market or something.

True, but you can buy their products for just a few dollars from Amazon India. I paid under $4 for a year's license for Waredot Antivirus. For now, it seems that only Internet Security is their only product that is working properly and that isn't for sale on Amazon. But maybe in time it will be.

It was, but now I find that a trial version...

Hello friends. Which software uses Sophos antivirus engine?

Sophos Home, Waredot, digital-defender
Waredot and Digital-Defender only use Sophos's SDK base, which is very poor...
Waredot also uses Mal/Generic.S detection, but both antivirus programs have no access to Intercept X (ML/PE.A detection used only by Sophos Home / Sophos Endpoint).

Something like a Panda. You can only buy it if you want to support Ukraine, but there are better ways.

Hello

It's been a long time since I tested it...
When I tested it over 1 year ago, Web detection was very good. Its AV engine, however, had trouble detecting some forms of malware... And it had a lot of trouble cleaning up detected elements (either it didn't delete, or it didn't analyze everything, so the interceptor had to manage everything).
I don't know if it has evolved yet.
