Sophos Virus Removal Tool

Sophos Virus Removal Tool is a completely free anti-malware tool, which allows you to scan your computer for any potentially dangerous or suspicious element. If the program detects any viruses, malware or spyware, it will automatically remove them. Best of all? Since it is not an antivirus program, it will not interfere with any antivirus program installed on the computer, so you can leave it installed and run it whenever you suspect that something is wrong.

The first time you launch Sophos Virus Removal Tool after installation, the program will automatically access the Internet to download the latest database update. After this, you can start the analysis. The app has virtually no options other than to start analyzing your computer. You will not be able to scan only one hard disk, nor will you be able to scan only one folder, nor will you be able to do a quick scan. The only thing you will be able to do is analyze the whole device, in an exhaustive way.

Because Sophos Virus Removal Tool always performs full scans of the hard disk, the process usually takes quite a long time. Depending on the size of your hard disks, this could mean a duration of between ten minutes and two hours (although the average time is around one hour). It is time-consuming, yes, but the process will ensure that there are no threats to the computer, instantly removing any dangerous files.

Sophos Virus Removal Tool is a great security tool for Windows, which is especially useful to use as a complement to your usual antivirus. Thanks to this tool you can have a second opinion about the health of your computer, which never hurts to have. Especially if this opinion comes from a software security company founded in 1985.
