Sophos waa shirkad inta badan diiradda saarta horumarinta iyo iibinta alaabada amniga ganacsiga. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay sidoo kale bixiyaan alaabta amniga guriga oo bilaash ah, kaas oo isticmaale kasta oo guri uu soo dejisan karo oo isticmaali karo. Waxaan aad u xiisaynnay inaan aragno waxa Sophos Home ku saabsan yahay iyo inay si hufan u ilaalinayaan kombiyuutarradayada Windows. Sidaa darteed, waxaan u qaadanay tijaabo, oo hadda waxaan jeclaan lahayn inaan kuu sheegno waxa faa'iidooyinka iyo khasaaraha alaabtani yihiin. Akhri^(Read) dib u eegistayada oo arag bal in Sophos Home yahay qalab ammaan oo aad ka rabto kombayutaradaada iyo qalabka Windows :

Muxuu ku fiican yahay Guriga Sophos?

Guriga Sophos^{(Sophos Home)} waa qalab ammaan oo wanaagsan oo loogu talagalay dadka doonaya:

• Alaab ammaan ah oo bixisa is-dhexgal isticmaale fudud
• In si hufan looga ilaaliyo mareegaha khatarta ah, iyadoon loo eegin browser-ka ay jecel yihiin isticmaalka
• Kahortagga malware-ka wanaagsan
• Dhammaan kuwan kor ku xusan, bilaash!

Faa'iidada iyo khasaaraha

Liiska soo socda, waxaanu ku soo ururinay qaar ka mid ah dhinacyada ugu wanaagsan ee Guriga Sophos^{(Sophos Home)} :

• Matoorka ka hortaga ayaa aad ugu wanagsan nadiifinta malware-ka
• Difaaca webka ayaa shaandheeya dhammaan taraafikada intarneedka ee ku socda kombayutarkaaga, si aad u hesho ilaalin aad u wanaagsan iyada oo aan loo eegin browserka webka ee aad doorbidayso
• Interface-ka adeegsaduhu waa mid fudud, markaa bilawga dhammaystiran waxay u badan tahay inay jecel yihiin
• Wax saamayn taban kuma laha waxqabadka iyo xawaaraha kombayutarkaga
• Ma xidho wax aanad doonayn ama u baahnayn
• Waa bilaash!

Dhanka kale, waa kuwan dhowr waxyaalood oo aynaan jeclayn guriga Sophos^{(Sophos Home)} :

• Matoorka ka hortaga fayraska wuu ka gaabiyaa kuwa kale marka uu kombayutarkaaga ka baadho malware
• Fududnaanta macnaheedu waa inaadan helin wax ikhtiyaari qaabeynta horumarsan
• Ma jiraan wax log ama tirokoob oo laga heli karo offline, kaliya onlayn

Xukun

Sophos Home waa software ammaan oo aan qof walba u lahayn. Waxaan jecelnahay hufnaanta mishiinkiisa ka-hortagga, sidoo kale waxaanu taageere u nahay habkiisa fudud oo yar. Alaabtani waxay ka farxin kartaa kuwa bilawga ah iyo isticmaalayaasha aan xiisaynaynin alaabooyinka antivirus adag. Si kastaba ha noqotee, fududaanteeda waxay leedahay kharash, taasoo la macno ah inaysan jirin doorashooyin horumarsan oo lagu habeyn karo, ma jiraan astaamo dheeri ah oo faa'iido leh oo kordhin kara amnigaaga marka laga reebo aasaaska ay bixiso Sophos Home . Sidoo kale, ma bixiso ilaalinta dab-damiska, markaa waa inaad ku tiirsan tahay Windows Firewall . Waxaan aaminsanahay in Sophos Home uu yahay doorasho aad u wanaagsan dadka doorbida alaabada amniga ee bilaashka ah oo aan rabin inay ku dhex milmaan abka amniga ee adag. Sareeye^(Advanced)Isticmaalayaasha doonaya ilaalin dhammaystiran oo ay ku jiraan firewall-ka, waa inay raadiyaan badeecado ganacsi, maaha kuwo bilaash ah.

Soo dejinta iyo khibradda rakibidda

Waxaad ku bilaabaysaa inaad tagto shabakada Sophos^{(Sophos' website)} oo aad abuurto akoon isticmaale. Haddii aanad samayn akoon onlayn ah, ma isticmaali kartid alaabtan bilaashka ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, tani waa hab toos ah, oo waxay u baahan tahay oo kaliya faahfaahin yar oo adiga kugu saabsan: magacaaga, ciwaanka emailka iyo erayga sirta ah.

Kadib markaad samaysato akoon, isticmaal si aad u gasho boggaga Sophos Home dashboard. Sida aad ku arki karto sawirka hoose, boggan waxa uu u muuqdaa mid fudud oo aad u fudud in la isticmaalo. Si aad ugu rakibto Sophos Home kombayutarkaaga^{(Sophos Home)} , dhagsii ama taabo badhanka rakibaha PC^{(PC Installer )} .

Kadib, browserkaagu wuxuu bilaabaa soo dejinta faylka la yiraahdo SophosInstall.exe , kaas oo cabirkiisu yahay 255MB. Ku rakibida codsiga amniga kumbiyuutarkayaga tijaabada ah waxay qaadatay dhowr daqiiqo oo keliya, muddadaas oo keliya xogta dheeraadka ah ee laga soo dejiyey server-yada Sophos waxay ahayd cusbooneysiinta xogta qeexitaanka fayraska, oo cabbirkeedu dhan yahay 14.7MB. Habka rakibaadda waa sahlan tahay oo toosan, maadaama aysan jirin wax dejin ah oo la sameeyo ama xulashooyin laga doorto. Kaliya waxaad gujisaa Ku rakib^(Install) ka dibna dhame^(Finish) dhamaadka.

Marka rakibiddu dhammaato, ma jiraan wax ku shubasho is-dhexgal isticmaale iyo wax wada hadal ah oo ay soo bandhigaan badeecadan amniga. Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aad eegto saxanka nidaamkaaga, waxaad arki kartaa in arjiga la shubay oo uu horay ula socday ammaankaaga.

Ilaa hadda, soo dejinta iyo ku rakibida Sophos Home kumbuyuutarka Windows waa wax sahlan in la sameeyo, waana jecelnahay taas.^{(Thus far, downloading and installing Sophos Home on a Windows computer is an easy thing to do, and we love that.)}

La-qabsiga Windows , daalacashada shabakada iyo barnaamijyada madal Windows ee caalamiga ah^(Windows)

Guriga Sophos wuxuu^{(Sophos Home )} si toos ah u curyaamiyaa Difaaca Windows^{(Windows Defender)} inta lagu guda jiro rakibaadda, taasina waa shay wanaagsan maadaama ay ka fogaato isku dhacyada suurtagalka ah iyo arrimaha waxqabadka. Dhanka kale, Sophos Home ma baabi'iyo Windows Firewall , laakiin waxay leedahay sabab aad u fiican oo aan loo samayn: Sophos Home kuma jiraan moduleka dab-damiska. Waxaad ku tiirsanaan kartaa Windows Firewall si aad uga hortagto weerarrada shabakada ama waxaad ku rakibi kartaa codsi kale oo gooni u taagan. Qaybta wanaagsani waa in ay ka dhigan tahay inaadan dhibaato kala kulmin isticmaalka mid ka mid ah astaamaha isku xirka ee laga heli karo Windows .

Nabadgelyada khadkaaga, Sophos Home kuma jiraan wax kordhinta biraawsarkaaga, taa beddelkeedana waxay door bidaysaa in ay iskaan dhammaan taraafikada intarneedka ee ku socota kombayutarkaaga si ay kaaga joojiyaan inaad booqato mareegaha xaasidnimada leh.

Mid kale oo togan oo ku saabsan is dhexgalka Sophos Home iyo kombuyuutarradayada Windows waa xaqiiqda ah in badeecadan ammaanku ay u muuqato inaysan saameyn xun ku yeelan waxqabadka kombiyuutarkaaga. Hadalkan waxa aanu ku salaynaa cabbirada aanu samaynay. Marka hore^(First) , waxaan isticmaalnay BootRacer si aan u cabbirno waqtiga boot ee kumbuyuutarkayaga tijaabada ka hor iyo ka dib rakibidda Sophos Home , natiijadiina waxaan helnay waxay ahaayeen isku mid. Marka labaad, waxaan eegnay isticmaalka RAM ee ^(RAM)Sophos Home : marka aysan dhicin wax aan caadi ahayn, waxay u baahan tahay kaliya 22MB ee RAM si uu u shaqeeyo. Taasi waa wax aad u yar! Marka saddexaad, waxaanu sidoo kale ku wadnay dhawr tijaabo Speedtest.net iyo^{(LAN Speed Test)}Tijaabada Xawaaraha LAN Xawaaruhu waxay ahaayeen kuwo isku mid ah ka hor iyo ka dib marka la rakibo qalabka amniga, taas oo macnaheedu yahay in aysan saameyn xun ku yeelan wareejinta xogta internetka ama shabakada maxaliga ah, taasina waa natiijo aad u fiican!

Sophos Home waa alaab ammaan ah oo si fiican ugu dhex milmay Windows. Astaamaha isku xidhka waxaa caqabad ku ah Sophos Home sababtoo ah alaabta amniga kuma jiraan moduleka dab-damiska. Dhanka amnigaaga khadka tooska ah, waxaad heleysaa gaashaan shabakad oo shaandheysa dhammaan taraafikada intarneedka, iyada oo aan wax kordhin shabakadeed ku lug lahayn, taasina waa wax aan jecelnahay. Ugu dambeyntii, waxaan sidoo kale ka mahadcelineynaa xaqiiqda ah in alaabtan ammaanku aysan hoos u dhigin kumbuyuutarka ama wareejinta xogtaada.^{(Sophos Home is a security product that is well integrated with Windows. The networking features are unhindered by Sophos Home because the security product does not include a firewall module. As for your online security, you get a web shield that filters all the internet traffic, with no web browser extensions involved, and that is something we like. Finally, we also appreciate the fact that this security product does not slow down the computer or your data transfers.)}

Fududeynta isticmaalka iyo qaabeynta

Alaabooyinka ammaanku waxay inta badan bixiyaan is-dhexgal isticmaale oo casri ah, oo leh xulashooyin iyo dejiyo badan. Xitaa haddii aysan muuqan, waxay joogaan, oo lagu habeeyay daaqado badan, qaybo, liisyo, iyo wixii la mid ah. Taasi maaha kiiska Sophos Home , kaas oo bixiya malaha is-dhexgalka isticmaalaha ugu toosan ee aan ku aragnay alaabta amniga. Waa kan sawirkeeda si aad fikrad fiican uga hesho waxa aan ka hadlayno:

Interface-ka isticmaaluhu waxa uu tusinayaa in kombayutarkaagu ammaan yahay oo ku siinayaa laba badhan: "Scan My Computer" iyo "Maage My Security." "Scan My Computer"^{("Manage My Security." "Scan My Computer")} waxa uu bilaabayaa iskaan buuxa oo kombuyuutar ah oo loogu talagalay malware-ka iyo codsiyada suurtagalka ah ee aan la rabin, iyo "Maaraynta Amnigayga"^{("Manage My Security")} waxa uu furayaa biraawsarkaaga webka ah oo ku geynaya akoonkaaga internetka ee Sophos . Haddii aad bilowdo iskaanka kombiyuutarkaaga, interface interface ayaa ku tusinaysa horumarka iyo tirada hanjabaadaha la aqoonsaday, laakiin ma aha wax kale.

"Maamul Amnigeyga"^{("Manage My Security")} waxay kugu qaadanaysaa onlayn iyo ka dib markaad gasho akoonkaaga Sophos ; Waxaad ka arki kartaa Xaaladda^(Status) iyo Taariikhda^(History) dhacdooyinka qalabkaaga, dejiso antimalware iyo ka reebanaanshaha mareegaha oo aad dami kartaa Ilaalinta Waqtiga-dhabta ah^{(Real-Time Protection)} , Ilaalinta Codsiga Aan La rabin (PUA),^{(Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) Protection, )} iyo Astaamaha Ilaalinta Shabkada^{(Web Protection)} oo shidan ama dami.

Waxyaabaha ka reeban waa in lagu geliyo gacanta, adiga oo ku qoraya dariiqa buuxa ee galka ama faylalka aanad rabin in lagu sawiro hanjabaado, ama adigoo ku qoraya ciwaanada mareegaha aanad doonayn in la sifeeyo. Tani maaha mid fudud sida ay noqon karto, laakiin dhammaan sifooyinka kale ee yar ee la dami karo ama la dami karo ayaa lagu xakameynayaa iyadoo la kaashanayo furayaasha fudud, markaa taasi waa wanaagsan tahay.

Haddii aad u baahato, waxaad sidoo kale geli kartaa dukumentiga caawinta ee internetka^{(help documentation online)} , adigoo gujinaya badhanka calaamadda su'aasha ee laga helay geeska hoose ee midig ee interface user desktop. Haddii aad u baahan tahay taageero dheeraad ah Sophos Home , waxaad sidoo kale hubin kartaa golayaasha bulshada^{(community forums)} iyo saldhigga aqoonta. Ma aanan helin wax ikhtiyaar ah oo aan ku heli karno taageero iimayl ama taleefan.

Marka laga hadlayo ogeysiisyada iyo ogeysiisyada, Sophos Home waa sax ilaa barta: waxaad heleysaa digniin mar kasta oo malware-ka laga helo kombayutarkaga. Marka ay taasi dhacdo, interface-ka isticmaaluhu wuxuu ku tusayaa inay jiraan hal ama ka badan oo digniino ah.

Haddii aad rabto inaad aragto diiwaannada iyo tirakoobyada, kama heli kartid Sophos Home , ugu yaraan gudaha kombayutarkaaga. Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aad internetka gasho dashboardkaaga Sophos Home , waxaad arki kartaa tirada hanjabaadaha la nadiifiyay iyo shabakadaha laga xannibay mid kasta oo ka mid ah kombuyuutarkaaga.

Sophos Home waa badeecada amniga leh interface isticmaale ugu toosan ee aan waligeen aragnay. Taasi maaha wax xun, waana inaan qirannaa inaan jecelnahay habkan. Waa mid ka mid ah fursadaha ugu fiican ee dadka aan rabin inay isticmaalaan apps adag.^{(Sophos Home is the security product with the most straightforward user interface we have ever seen. That is not a bad thing, and we must admit that we like this approach. It is one of the best options for people who do not want to use complicated apps.)}

Akhri bogga xiga ee dib u eegistan si aad u aragto sida ugu hufan ee Sophos Home uga ilaaliyo kombuyuutarkaaga weerarada shabakadaha iyo malware-ka, iyo macluumaadka kale ee ku saabsan.

Security for everyone - Reviewing Sophos Home

Sophos is a company thаt focuses mostly on developing and selling business security products. However, thеy are аlso offering a home security product for free, which any homе user can download and use. We were curіous to see what Sophos Home is all about and whether it is efficient at protecting our Windows computers. Therefore, we have taken it for a test drive, and now we would like to tell you what the pros and cons of this product are. Read our review and see whether Sophos Home is a security tool that you want on your Windows computers and devices:

What is Sophos Home good at?

Sophos Home is a good security tool for people who want:

• A security product that offers a simple user interface
• To be protected efficiently against dangerous websites, regardless of which web browser they like using
• Good anti-malware protection
• All of the above, for free!

Pros and cons

In the following list, we have gathered some of the best aspects of Sophos Home:

• The antivirus engine is very good at cleaning malware
• The web shield filters all the internet traffic going on your computer, so you get the same excellent protection regardless of the web browser you prefer
• The user interface is simple, so absolute beginners will probably love it
• It has no negative effect on the performance and speed of your computer
• It does not bundle anything you might not want or need
• It is free!

On the other hand, here are a couple of the things we did not like about Sophos Home:

• The antivirus engine is slower than others at scanning your computer for malware
• Simplicity means that you do not get any advanced configuration options
• There are no logs or statistics available offline, only online

Verdict

Sophos Home is security software that is not for everyone. We like the efficiency of its antivirus engine, and we are also fans of its simple and minimalist approach. This product can please beginners and users who are not interested in complicated antivirus products. However, its simplicity does have a cost, meaning that there are no advanced options to configure, no useful extra features that could increase your security besides the basics that are provided by Sophos Home. Also, it does not offer firewall protection, so you have to rely on the Windows Firewall. We believe Sophos Home is an excellent choice for people who prefer free security products and do not want to fiddle with complicated security apps. Advanced users who want complete protection that also includes a firewall, should look for commercial products, not free ones.

The download and installation experience

You start by going to Sophos' website and creating a user account. Unless you create an online account, you cannot use this free product. However, this is a straightforward process, and it only requires a few details about you: your name, email address and a password.

After you create an account, use it to log in to your Sophos Home dashboard webpage. As you can see in the image below, this webpage looks simple and very easy to use. To install Sophos Home on your computer, click or tap on the PC Installer button.

Then, your browser starts downloading a file called SophosInstall.exe, which has a size of 255MB. Installing the security application on our test computer took only a few minutes, during which time the only additional data being downloaded from Sophos' servers was the virus definitions database updates, which had a total size 14.7MB. The installation process is easy and straightforward, as there are no settings to make or options to choose from. You just click Install and then Finish at the end.

When the installation is finished, there is no user interface loading and no dialogues displayed by this security product. However, if you take a look in your system tray, you can see that the application was loaded and it is already monitoring your security.

Thus far, downloading and installing Sophos Home on a Windows computer is an easy thing to do, and we love that.

Integration with Windows, web browsers and universal Windows platform apps

Sophos Home automatically disables Windows Defender during its installation, and that is a good thing as it avoids possible conflicts and performance issues. On the other hand, Sophos Home does not disable Windows Firewall, but it has an excellent reason for not doing it: Sophos Home does not include a firewall module. You can either rely on Windows Firewall for protection against network attacks or install a different standalone firewall application. The good part is that it means you should not have problems using any of the networking features available in Windows.

For your online security, Sophos Home does not include any web browser extensions and instead prefers to scan all the internet traffic that goes on your computer to stop you from visiting malicious websites.

Another positive about the integration of Sophos Home and our Windows computers is the fact that this security product seems to have no adverse effect on your computer's performance. We make this statement based on the measurements we did. First, we used BootRacer to measure the boot time of our test computer before and after installing Sophos Home, and the results we got were the same. Secondly, we looked at the RAM consumption of Sophos Home: when nothing extraordinary happens, it needs only about 22MB of RAM to run. That is very little! Thirdly, we also ran a few tests with Speedtest.net and with LAN Speed Test. The speeds were the same before and after installing the security suite, which means that it has no negative effect on data transfers on the internet or local network, and that is an excellent result!

Sophos Home is a security product that is well integrated with Windows. The networking features are unhindered by Sophos Home because the security product does not include a firewall module. As for your online security, you get a web shield that filters all the internet traffic, with no web browser extensions involved, and that is something we like. Finally, we also appreciate the fact that this security product does not slow down the computer or your data transfers.

Ease of use and configuration

Security products usually offer sophisticated user interfaces, with lots options and settings. Even if they are not obvious, they are there, organized in multiple windows, sections, lists, and so on. That is not the case for Sophos Home, which offers probably the most straightforward user interface we have seen in a security product. Here is an image of it to get a better idea of what we are talking about:

The user interface shows whether your computer is secure and gives you two buttons: "Scan My Computer" and "Manage My Security." "Scan My Computer" starts a full computer scan for malware and potentially unwanted applications, and "Manage My Security" opens your default web browser and takes you to your Sophos online account. If you start scanning your computer, the user interface shows you the progress and the number of threats identified, but not anything else.

"Manage My Security" takes you online and after you sign into your Sophos account; you can see the Status and History of events on your device, set antimalware and website exceptions and turn the Real-Time Protection, Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) Protection, and Web Protection features on or off.

Exceptions must be entered manually, by typing the full path of folders or files that you do not want to be scanned for threats, or by typing the addresses of the websites that you do not want to be filtered. This is not as easy as it could be, but all the few other features that can be turned on or off are controlled with the help of simple switches, so that is good.

If you need to, you can also access the help documentation online, by clicking on the question mark button found on the bottom-right corner of the desktop user interface. If you need further support for Sophos Home, you can also check the community forums and the knowledge base. We did not find any option to get support via email or phone.

Regarding alerts and notifications, Sophos Home is right to the point: you get an alert each time there's malware detected on your computer. When that happens, the user interface shows you that there are one or more alerts.

If you want to see logs and statistics, you do not get any in Sophos Home, at least locally on your computer. However, if you go online on your Sophos Home dashboard, you can see the number of threats cleaned and websites blocked on each of your computers.

Sophos Home is the security product with the most straightforward user interface we have ever seen. That is not a bad thing, and we must admit that we like this approach. It is one of the best options for people who do not want to use complicated apps.

Read the next page of this review to see how efficient Sophos Home is at protecting your computer from network attacks and malware, and other information about it.
