Benefits & Features
Award-winning multi-threat protection in one product
- Sophos Anti-Virus detects, reports, and disinfects
viruses, spyware, Trojans, and worms, at every potential
point of infection, ensuring full network protection
on Intelbased and PowerPC-based Macintosh servers,
desktops and laptops.
- A range of technologies, including Dynamic Code
Analysis™, pattern matching, emulation and heuristics,
automatically check for malicious code.
- Sophos Anti-Virus is 100% Checkmark-certified
for spyware detection. Integrated cross-platform
virus detection means Windows viruses can be deleted
and cleaned on a Mac OS X computer.
- Unlike other vendors, Sophos delivers enhanced
protection against unknown threats using patented
behavioral analysis. Behavioral Genotype® Protection
analyzes the behavior of a file before it executes,
automatically guarding against unknown threats –
this means that even Windows and other non-Mac files
stored on a Mac can be analyzed without needing
to be run.
- Genotype® virus detection technology protects
against families of viruses even before specific
detection is available.
Scalable, centralized control
- Designed for all-Mac networks, Sophos Update
Manager allows updating and configuration from a
single Mac computer, enabling you to set scheduled
updating, and to determine how scanning will be
implemented on desktops and laptops.
- As a universal binary, Sophos Update Manager
is a single install for both Intel-based and PowerPC-based
computers.
- Comprehensive messaging functions in Enterprise
Console alert administrators when updates have been
deployed, giving them all the information they need
to monitor and control the software effectively.
Administrators and users are also notified if any
viruses are found.
- Sophos Anti-Virus uses the SMTP client in Mac
OS X to send alert messages. By using the SMTP client,
virus alerts for remote computers are queued until
they reconnect to the network, ensuring that no
alerts are lost.
- Using Sophos Enterprise Console on a Windows
computer you can centrally configure and manage
all your Windows, Linux and Mac computers from a
single point.
High performance scanning and rapid updates
- Scanning can be performed on access, on demand
and automatically at scheduled times. Decision Caching™
technology ensures that only those files that have
changed are rescanned which results in an increase
in scanning performance, without compromising protection.
- Sophos Anti-Virus provides immediate scanning
of volumes, directories and individual files via
a graphical or command-line interface.
- The latest software and virus detection updates
are automatically downloaded from SophosLabs, or
from the corporate website using Sophos AutoUpdate™,
ensuring that all computers across the network,
including remote MacBooks, are fully protected.
Industry-leading expertise

technical support from our in-house global support
experts, as standard with every license.
