Next-gen PUA removal with Sophos Home

Sophos Home protects your home computers from potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). PUAs are programs that aren't malicious by design but are potentially unsuitable for your device. For example, they may introduce privacy, security, or user experience risks. You can choose to allow PUAs based on your personal preference.

With Sophos Home's website blocker feature, you can block access to websites that commonly distribute PUAs. This helps prevent you and your family from erroneously downloading these programs. Sophos Home goes beyond traditional antivirus protection to identify PUAs and helping you remove them – before they can introduce privacy, security, or user experience risks on your computer and, by association, in your life.

Combine this with real-time, 24/7 threat intelligence from SophosLabs and you have a home computer security solution that addresses all challenges posed by the latest cyber threats.

Sophos Home stops PUA malware with:

Exhaustive Website Blocker
Sophos Home enables you to block websites that are malicious, potentially compromised, and the kind of sites that contain PUA download links.
In-depth Parental Web Filter
Children can stumble upon sites with adult content, blogs, social networking sites or those with potentially inappropriate content or PUAs. Sophos Home helps you control access to such sites.
Real Time Scanning
While downloaded programs are being written to the file system, they are also being scanned in real time. Even if you have mistakenly downloaded a file from a dubious website or server, it will be detected and blocked.
