Sophos Anti-Virus shows the progress of a scan while it's running.īy default, Sophos Anti-Virus disinfects macro viruses, boot-sector viruses, and some executable viruses. In fact, we often forgot about the program until it performed a scheduled scan and our system slowed slightly. Sophos Anti-Virus interacts rarely, if ever, with the end user, which is how most IT departments like it. Many antivirus programs prod the user to check for Web updates, or they provide frequent pop-up reports of their actions. Sophos's interface shows a scan's progress, giving you a clear idea of how long a virus checkup will take. Simply click the Scheduled tab, then the Add button, and proceed from there. Integrated into the main interface is the Sophos scheduler, making it easier than in some antivirus products we've seen to schedule scans. But the Configuration and Alert buttons really should really be combined, as both lead you to roughly the same program settings. For instance, the Go button starts a scan Stop ends it. Sophos's desktop interface is not quite as slick as Norton's, McAfee's, or PC-cillin's, but its simple, icon-and-menu design requires little or no training. Sophos Anti-Virus's setup screen provides a lot of useful information.
