Sophos Home Premium

When the large company's CISO implements an antivirus system, they don't want random employees to interfere with the system. Business Grade Antivirus is centrally managed, and Sophos is well known in this area. Consumers get the same advanced antivirus protection in the form of Sophos Home Premium. The product showed perfect detection in our anti-malware and malicious URL detection tests. It's a good choice, especially if you're managing antivirus protection for your family or friends. And much cheaper than its competitors.

Sophos offered a free version with limited features to protect up to 3 computers. This version has been deprecated and has been replaced by a 30-day free trial of the premium version. But even premium protection is not expensive. You can install the product on 10 PCs or Macs for $60 per year. That's just $6 per year per device.
