Sophos Anti-Virus software provides integrated, cross-platform virus detection that is specifically designed for corporate networks. It protects laptops, desktops and servers by detecting, reporting and disinfecting viruses, Trojans, worms and spyware. Scheduled and on-demand scanning is provided by Sophos's powerful proprietary virus detection engine without affecting network performance. In addition, Sophos's patented InterCheck technology optimises on-access virus protection, utilising a unique combination of virus scanning and checksumming to minimise how many times files need to be checked and to keep resource usage low. Sophos Anti-Virus also incorporates powerful management tools which enable centralised installation, configuration, updating and reporting.

Sophos Small Business Suite has been designed specifically for companies with simple networks. Straightforward user interfaces allow even non-technical users to install and manage the software quickly and easily. With completely automatic updating against the latest threats, you can set it and forget it, safe in the knowledge that your whole network will be free from viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware and spam. Sophos small business solutions run on Windows and Macintosh networks and Exchange/SMTP email servers. Unlimited 24/7 support is included with every licence.

Sophos PureMessage is a trusted and proven solution that defends large organisations against viruses, spam and other email-borne security threats. Four million users rely on PureMessage to remove safely up to 98% of spam at the gateway, using the latest anti-spam techniques. Quarantine digests enable end-users to access blocked messages easily, eliminating the business impact of false positives. Industry-leading virus detection tools scan for known and unknown viruses, safeguarding the network against malicious code. Corporate communications policies are easily managed using PureMessage's flexible policy manager, for complete, precise control over mail filtering, protecting against network downtime and productivity loss.

Enterprise Manager is a suite of administration and updating tools that enables Sophos products and new virus identity files to be downloaded automatically. The files are distributed from the Sophos Databank website to a local file server and then distributed to the desktops running Windows. Enterprise Manager automatically connects at preset times and on-demand to check that the downloaded Sophos software is up to date. The Remote Update application extends this facility to remote workers, enabling laptops and desktops to be updated automatically. Enterprise Manager also ensures the integrity of any downloaded file, checking that it has not been tampered with or corrupted.

MailMonitor reduces the threat of email-borne viruses at network boundaries. The software checks all email traffic passing through gateways and email servers, providing an extra layer of protection against mass-mailing viruses. Threat reduction technology in MailMonitor reduces users' exposure to virus threats even further, by blocking potential carriers - such as attachments with double extensions, Windows/DOS executables and files sent to many recipients or with specific subject lines - at the gateway, where they are quarantined and can be disinfected or deleted. MailMonitor also detects viruses in email attachments compressed with Zip and other popular compression utilities and has features that give administrators total network control.

SAV Interface offers developers fast-track integration while at the same time satisfying the requirements of high-bandwidth environments for minimal performance overhead. Through its high-speed channel into the Sophos virus engine all virus types are detected. SAV Interface also incorporates disinfection and deletion and provides comprehensive information when a virus is found. It improves performance significantly over traditional command-line virus scanners.
