Hmm thats the only drawback i found till..
but u can quiet manage it though..
Very powerful BB

 

[Syafiq]

@amico81 Yes, but it had almost zero fps. I think they still need to add that feature

 

[amico81]

i would like to see a test between sophos free and premium with the same samples

Premium should lead...with its advanced features and better malware removal..
Very powerful and light on system too
End point interception + Hitman pro alert+ Own BB would definetly give a double edge sword

Comparison of free and premium : Free Anti Virus and Web Security Download for PCs | Sophos Home

10 devices under 1 license for 54 USD if I understand it correct and that's a pretty nice price consider the amount of devices either PC or Mac but there seams to be no other option at all either up or down.

I got one license for free by beta test on Sophos Premium but it is not having ui and it is controlled by only browser by logging into account

Since u have an year Free for premium..
Why don't u give us ur opinion
Quarantine is the only issue I see

 

[amico81]

I'm more interested in the free version....i would not pay for any av without quarantine.
But back to the test...good result

Give a test in OFFLINE
eager to see HitmaN Pro alert in the work

 

[bribon77]

Not having quarantine, I think it's a pretty bad problem. Because if you have a false positive with some legal program. there is no way to reverse. the FP.

 

[mlnevese]

Anyone who has ever been hit by a FP wouldn't touch any product that does not have a quarantine...

I'm also having a free 1 year license of Sophos Home Premium, but the only problem i was having is i don't have a VM to be a MH testers

Trust on SOPHOS ...and begin Live malware attack
You may win

G data and KIS never disappoint me

 

[johnyjohn]

Sophos Home Premium offers hitmanpro alert what happens if you all ready have hmpa do they give a discount.?

 

[Arequire]

i don't have a VM to be a MH testers

It's easy enough to set one up (there's plenty of tutorials on Youtube). Just make sure you create an ISO of whichever OS you're going to be using and have a licence key on-hand so you can install said OS on the VM.

 

[Evjl's Rain]

for me, sophos home premium is always average or above average. HMPA is overrated and it always provides good but sub-optimal protection. Demonstrated in some of cruelsister's videos

@Evjl's Rain

Aren't the great majority of test done on HMP.A only about the cryptoguard?

I don't think I have seen anyone actually test its anti-exploit capabilities which supposedly is HMP.A's strength.

HMPA's cryptoguard was tested by CS and it wasn't comparable to the others
exploit protection is not easy to test because they are not many exploits amateur testers like me can use and I don't know how to do it, too

I think exploits are rarer than everyday malwares we get

in other tests by Parsh, sophos premium (+HMPA module) were smashed by malwares and files were encrypted in several tests -> that sucks
