The most interesting item missing on the Mac is the feature called Download Reputation. A few other scattered features such as AMSI Protection are specific to the Windows edition. Windows users see another page called Exploits, but all features on that page are Premium-only. Ransomware Protection is reserved for paying customers. This tab has three sub-tabs: General, Ransomware, and Web. That leaves the Protection tab, the place where everything happens. Finally, Web Filtering lets you configure the parental control system, which I’ll discuss later. Note that even paying users don’t get Mic Protection on the PC. Privacy is irrelevant, because Webcam and Mic Protection, the only features on that page, are not for free users. History displays a list of everything Sophos has done to protect you, with an option to filter on different event types.

Free users can work with Antivirus Protection and Web Protection-the other three are Premium-only. The Status page features five large panels representing protective components. When you select a device, you get a page with five tabs: Status, History, Protection, Web Filtering, and Privacy. You can share a link via email or install Sophos on the current device. The Dashboard displays your protected devices and offers two ways to extend your protection. In a consumer setting, this lets you install protection for any friend or family member and take care of problems that arise without paying them a visit or tediously trying to talk them through a solution over the phone. That makes perfect sense, given that in a business setting the IT department manages security remotely. With Sophos, you install a small local agent on each PC or Mac that needs protection and manage all the settings from an online console. The Premium edition lets you manage 10 devices for $60 per year (quite a deal), and it adds an impressive collection of useful security-related features. If you need more than three and don't want to set up another free account on a separate email, you must upgrade to Sophos Home Premium for Mac. From the online console you can install and manage protection on three devices, whether they run macOS or Windows. To get started with Sophos, you register an account online. It's no surprise that the consumer edition works the same way. Sophos provides free Linux antivirus software.Sophos is a big name in the enterprise-level antivirus world, where a central IT administrator controls all the local endpoint installations. After free registration, you will get a web portal where you can monitor your devices and act on detected issues when needed. The application can be installed on up to three computers. Sophos Antivirus for home Windows and Macintosh computers provides the same level of protection as the UW licensed package does. Once you have separated from the UW, you must remove the software from your computer. The Sophos Home Premium software listed below is for use on your personal computer and should not be installed on the UW-owned equipment. The UW email address is only required for receiving the coupon code–UW users are then welcome to use any email address they choose for registering their account with Sophos. Sophos will then send an email to that UW address with a coupon code and instructions on next steps. UW employees or students interested in participating in this offer should go to Sophos Home Download Page, agree to the terms, and use their or email address to request a coupon code. If that happens, please switch to the basic version of Sophos Home. This offer may end at any time and without warning. With an affiliated UW email address, users can get Sophos Home Premium at no cost for their personal computers and devices. Sophos Home Premium (or “ Sophos Home Commercial Use Edition”) is provided courtesy of Sophos to students, faculty, and staff. The UW Sophos license grants faculty and staff at UW the rights to use the software on UW owned computers, servers, and workstations.
