IN THE BACKGROUND After using many others and being interrupted to the point of annoyance, I installed Sophos and almost forgot it was even there! Once configured to my specs, which was easily done, Sophos works in the background, as it should. Now the annoying interrupts are a thing of the past, so shall they remain with Sophos!

Unobtrusive 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.

It'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.

I have used Sophos for years and have… I have used Sophos for years and have been very satisfied. Recently, with a change in my desktop Mac, I noticed that the scheduled scans were coming more often. I decided to change my settings to manual scans and stop the automatic scans. But, fro some reason I don't understand, the scans have continued automatically. I have been able to stop them, but even revisiting my settings and checking them, they continue. This is something that should be addressed. Thank you.

Why the "Welcome to Sophos" box every reboot? I assume all of the threat detection services are working as promised. But I hate that every time either of our two Macs are rebooted, The "welcome to Sophos Home" box appears - just like when we first installed the app. When clicking "Let's Start" button, it takes you into the Preferences menu, but Sophos is already given permissions as requested.
