Sophos Anti-Virus
Protecting your desktops, laptops and network servers. Sophos extends protection to widely used appliance.
The shared access which makes file storage appliances so useful can also make them particularly vulnerable to worms. A new version of Sophos Anti-Virus brings an extra layer of protection to networks, providing on-access scanning of the NetApp Storage Systems used by large businesses.
Sophos Anti-Virus protects your network, desktop and even remote laptop computers from the latest viruses, Trojans, worms and malicious spyware. The quality of its award-winning technology has been confirmed time and time again by independent bodies such as West Coast Labs, ICSA Labs and Virus Bulletin.
Protecting the desktop means that regardless of how a virus attempts to break in (email, CD, floppy disk, network shares, instant messaging, web download etc) it can be stopped. Using patented InterCheck technology, Sophos's on-access scanner provides constant real-time protection with minimal system overhead.
Network servers can also be protected with scheduled or constant real-time scanning, ensuring there is no opportunity for a virus to spread or damage your company's data.

The threat of viruses infecting PDAs and mobile phones has been widely hyped by some anti-virus companies. The fact is that there have never been any reports of viruses successfully infecting these kind of devices outside of laboratory conditions.
However, it is possible for PDAs to carry a virus into a company (thus avoiding any email gateway protection), and for the suspect file to be copied onto your desktop from the PDA.
Sophos Anti-Virus protects against this kind of infection through its on-access scanner, detecting any viruses transmitted when the PDA or mobile phone synchronises with the desktop PC.
