Antivirus for Windows Vista and Windows Xp.... the best

Sophos Anti-Virus is the best security solution for both Windows Vista and Windows XP Service Pack 3. At the beginning of February 2007, following the release of Windows Vista to the general public, Sophos Anti-Virus also received the VB100 award ahead of Microsoft and McAfee. But while the February 2007 tests were focused on Windows Vista, the June rankings turn back to XP SP2. "Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows XP performed impressively during the tests with its simple installation, in-depth configuration options and excellent detection rates," said John Hawes, technical consultant at Virus Bulletin. "By protecting against all the in-the-wild viruses without false positives, Sophos earns itself another VB100 award." Other security developers that managed to get the VB100 award for XP SP2 are Symantec, Microsoft, Trend Micro, McAfee, GDATA, BitDefender (SOFTWIN) and Avira. The biggest names that failed the VB100 tests are Kaspersky and F-Secure. Sophos beats McAfee and Symantec in an independent product review Sophos outperformed Symantec and McAfee in installation and deployment, usability and management, scanning performance and effectiveness against day-zero threats. It matched Symantec and beat McAfee in basic effectiveness, and was rated the best endpoint security product in the review overall. Sophos Anti-Virus is an anti-virus, anti-spyware and HIPS software program by Sophos plc, which is aimed primarily at corporate environments. Centralised management is performed via Sophos Enterprise Console. It is believed to be the Anti-Virus used by Gmail[1]. The SAV Interface software development toolkit allows software developers to integrate the Sophos virus detection engine in their applications in C, Perl, Python, Java, C#, .NET, VBScript or C++.

IMPORTANT !
For Updating product after serial number is gone,... after a month you can still have the updates from Sophos Website,... just download them and install them in Program files Folder where the software is installed
=========================
http://www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/
Download latest virus identity (IDE) files
If you are running an older version of Sophos Anti-Virus and do not automatically update your protection with EM Library, you should download virus identity files (IDEs), which provide detection and disinfection of viruses, worms, Trojans and spyware.
All the IDEs you need are available in a single compressed file. The file is available in two formats: a Zip file or a self-extracting file. Files are updated every time we release protection for a new virus.

sibby00000 (2008-04-03)

anyone know why I have a red X? My update settings look fine.

stefansz (2008-05-21)

x appears because your serial is expired... you have to create an account at

it will give you a 30 days trial code... that will be fine ... after 30 days create again account... and so on... If you think it is too borring to create accounts buy the product ;) enjoy

This works fine but it won't auto update. I manually updated as you suggested which worked. So I will do that.
How often should I manually update?

JaGo_gjk (2008-08-04)

Stephen111 i think u should update it once a week that would be enough for having you're comp well protected
