[QUOTE="Kuttz, post: 517251, member: 36292"] Compared to some other popular free anti virus software Sophos Home is ineffective when you throw a bunch of brand new malware samples and try to execute it. Sophos Home works fine if you are going after malware infected web sites which Sophos mostly denies access to such sites which is good. Sophos Home is also pretty heavy in system resource usage. Once you installed Sophos Home in your PC the first thing we notice is the slow folder navigation. When we open a folder containing a lot files especially .exe files for the first time since after boot it is very slow to display all the file icons. It is irritating to see such a sluggish behavior. Sophos home also heavy on RAM usage in the range of 200MBs. I was compelled to stop using Sophos Home sometime ago due its comparatively weaker zero day detection ability, heavy system resource usage and unfriendly user interface that the software don't even have the basic Quarantine feature. Sophos Home has the potential to become the best free anti virus for that to happen Sophos needs to improve, optimize their software considerably. [/QUOTE]
