As well as receiving better antivirus protection, premium subscribers can protect up to ten devices. These features all come free with Sophos Home Security Free, but advanced real-time protection only comes with Sophos Home Premium, which requires an annual subscription. The program continuously updates itself to stay ahead of the latest malware, whether it be Trojans, potentially unwanted apps (PUAs), ransomware, or spy bots. Sophos does this and even more effectively, for both Windows and iOS users, in real-time.
Like other programs vying for attention in the security & privacy market, Sophos Home needs to protect from all types of potential viruses and malware.
Sophos is also quite capable of protecting enterprise level networks as well as smaller family-based networks of computers. Sophos Home Premium for PC and Mac can protect home networks running both types of machine simultaneously.
