SOPHOS Anti-Virus

Sophos is one of the largest independent anti-virus vendors in the world and the largest based in Europe. Sophos is focused exclusively on the corporate market place where its core products protect company desktops, servers and e-mail gateways from the threat of viruses. Indeed Sophos is used by over 60% of companies in the FT top 100 companies and 22% of the top 100 companies listed in the Fortune 500. Sophos is recognised for its consistently high virus detection rates by such bodies as the ICSA, Virus Bulletin and West Coast Labs. It has also been voted best performer by PC Plus magazine.

Sophos Anti-Virus (SAV): This provides top class network protection on desktops and servers across multiple platforms. It offers on-demand, scheduled and on-access scanning, and provides protection across multiple platforms, in one single, fully integrated product. The software has network functionality at its core, and incorporates a range of reporting and management tools to help network administrators. It can be installed and updated centrally from one machine across an entire multi-platform, multi-server network. Updating it across the network is straightforward: once the server has been updated, all desktops and laptops automatically updated as soon as they log on, with end users not having to, and indeed not able to, interfere.
