Sophos Threat Detection Test - Is your anti-virus catching everything it should?

Sophos Threat Detection Test

Is your anti-virus catching everything it should?
  • Free virus, spyware, and adware scan
  • Test your existing anti-virus protection
  • Find threats your anti-virus missed

Scan once to find viruses, spyware, adware and zero-day threats

Use the Sophos Threat Detection Test to quickly perform a scan and find any viruses, spyware, adware or zero-day threats that might have by-passed your existing protection. The test can be run without uninstalling or deactivating your current anti-virus software.

The test utilizes award-winning Sophos Anti-Virus detection, certified by ICSA Labs, West Coast Labs, and Virus Bulletin.

Test your existing anti-virus protection

Note: As this test uses the Sophos Anti-Virus detection engine, it should not be installed on machines already running Sophos Anti-Virus.

Free 30-day trial

The Sophos Threat Detection Test allows you to initiate a single scan. The software is automatically updated so it can carry out additional scans if you prompt it. Because the test only scans when you prompt it, you must ensure that your existing anti-virus protection remains active.

If you prefer to run Sophos Anti-Virus on an ongoing basis, you can choose a free 30-day trial of Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection. This trial will require uninstalling any existing anti-virus protection.
