Good review. It seems Sophos Home is at least as good as other free anti viruses if not better. Some of the advantages include excellent web block feature, no non sense commercial ads, their signature and detection capabilities are good too and it behaves more or less like a paid software. Their privacy terms are better than most of the free anti virus softwares as far as I can understand.
