[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1056483, member: 99014"] 78.9 MB is a pretty unusual database for Sophos, it must be compressed somehow or perhaps it comes with an initial one. Sophoses databases are 250MB monthly + few KB daily (for a month about 5 MB get accumulated). How effective the product is would depend on what other technology is used in conjunction with the Sophos engine and whether or not it uses cloud (Live Protection). I found on my tests that Sophos leaves a lot of detections only in the cloud and never writes local definitions.
