    Sophos Home will remove malware, viruses, ransomware, and malicious apps and programs. It goes far beyond simply preventing known malware. Sophos Home analyzes suspicious behaviors and activities from files and programs, using real-time threat intelligence from SophosLabs. This delivers proactive protection from new and developing malware.

  • Easy to Install and Manage

    Quickly register and begin adding computers in no time. Installation is fast and you can start a virus scan or add new web filters immediately. Secure computers located anywhere in the world. Enjoy no ads, pop-ups, or prompts to enter credit card information.

  • Block Unwanted Content

    Sophos Home will automatically block phishing attacks, websites that contain malware and viruses, and bad websites pretending to be legitimate. You can also control the content your family can view with web filtering. Easily decide what to allow, warn, or block for each computer.
