Conclusion
So I recommend to SBMs to start testing the Sophos software within their organization in a controlled testing environment. From a technician perspective having a virus removal tool available to use alongside a customers’ current installed virus software is invaluable. Consider using the Sophos as a permanent and exclusive anti-virus software solution.
