Sophos Home?

Have anyone ever heard and tried Sophos Home free antivirus? If yes, than do you think this software worth it to replace Windows Defender? Just curious.

Hi:

I have no personal experience with the product.
But, from what I have seen at other fora, it is relatively new (Feb 2016) and is cloud-based, with the inherent advantages and disadvantages of that approach.
Aside from MS MSE/WD, most of the "free" AVs carry some disadvantages, including toolbars, upgrade ads/popups, reduced features, reduced support, etc. So one must weigh those factors against the free cost.
I do not know whether these drawbacks plague this Sophos product, too.
>>As of March 2016, however, it did lack a quarantine feature or the ability to restore a False Positive -- I do not know if that has been fixed yet.
>>Slow scan times have also been reported by some users.

Having said that, most of the feedback I see at other fora is generally positive.

Cheers,
MM
