Yes. Its scanner is ok but I’m pretty sure its behavior blocker is really good, if it’s anything like Sophos Intelix.Hello,
Is SOPHOS antivirus reliable and efficient for home users ?
Also is it light ?

Hi @ShadowraHello
It's been a long time since I tested it...
When I tested it over 1 year ago, Web detection was very good. Its AV engine, however, had trouble detecting some forms of malware... And it had a lot of trouble cleaning up detected elements (either it didn't delete, or it didn't analyze everything, so the interceptor had to manage everything).
I don't know if it has evolved yet.
But, Intelix is for business and not home users ?Yes. Its scanner is ok but I’m pretty sure its behavior blocker is really good, if it’s anything like Sophos Intelix.
Hi @Shadowra
If this is your last test App Review - Sophos Home Premium 2021 ; the conclusion was not very good for Sophos
Intelix is very good. If anything I can recommend it as a sandboxProbably here Intelix UI
Indeed, not very good. Unfortunate decline for an AV that was quite good in the early days, just about 7 yrs ago. Now, not so much. Like Edge was in its earliest Chromium days, if you get the analogy.this is your last test App Review - Sophos Home Premium 2021 ; the conclusion was not very good for Sophos
The Sophos engine has very flexible configuration and it is up to the OEM to decide what they want to use. This includes emulation (behavioural genotype), cloud, remediation and others.Sophos Home, Waredot, digital-defender
Waredot and Digital-Defender only use Sophos's SDK base, which is very poor...
Waredot also uses Mal/Generic.S detection, but both antivirus programs have no access to Intercept X (ML/PE.A detection used only by Sophos Home / Sophos Endpoint).
