ESIt's just Malware for Mac products... The Sophos website aggressively promises antivirus solutions for Mac products, but it's been a nightmare since the moment I download it. It does not recognize my email or allow me to login. It does not allow me to add a license key to activate the service. It repeatedly asks me to create new accounts and pay again and again. Every time I start my MacBook I get a cumbersome splash screen requiring that I login to Saphos, but it displays an error when I follow the link. And finally, it does not allow me to remove the application or avoid the ubiquitous prompts. This is worse than any malware I could have envisioned on my MacBook. UPDATE: In response to this review, Sophos sent me a generic link to their Help pages. The link required a login, which again failed.

GBSophos Home Anti-virus - A Great Choice We have used Sophos home anti-virus products for several years. I appreciate that there is very little user input required to keep the system protected. Sophos works in the background, and updates itself regularly without any user input. Of course it provides very strong protection for our devices.

CAAs far as I can tell it works well As far as I can tell it works well. It works in the background, and I never notice it. I rely on professional advice and reviews. Sophos was recommended over my previous (AVG) . Recommended by the software/computer store where I purchased the new laptop. It is important to me to be able to use it on multiple devices. A good product that I can share across the devices in my home. Saves me money and frustration.

GBIssues with Mac OS Big Sur I have been a Sophs customer for several years and subscribe to the Home Premium service. Since my upgrade to Apples Big Sur OS 11.7 I have several times experienced the red shield while indicates no Sophos protection. I also was unable to use the scan function, after malware was detected. Not sure if it is an Apple, or Sophos issue. The chat system is somewhat helpful, but not always. It could be an Apple issue or Sophos, and all I know is that as the end user I have to deal with it. A re start of the Mac seems to clear the issues. I would like a simple to manage protection service that has a consistent level of quality performance.

AUUnobtrusive and reasonably priced I've been using this product for a couple of years now. After the initial setup it has been unobtrusive, running and updating in the background. The price of the subscription was quite reasonable. I haven't had any security issues since it was installed, so I assume it's doing its job, but I'm not an IT expert.
