  • i did not get the point if the video and why was it funny again? fill me in plz

  • It's funny to us at Sophos, because McAfee and Norton are our biggest competitors - and it seems many people want to remove Norton, McAfee and AVG (according to Google).

    McAfee and Symantec are Moriarty to Sophos's Sherlock Holmes. AVG, meanwhile, is Mrs Hudson.

  • They are pretty big contenders and I could understand why this would make you smile.

    Would have been a little embarrassing if Sophos was in there, wouldn't it? :P

  • The reason why these products are there is that they often come preinstalled in demo versions with your computer and a generally useless and EXTREMELY hard to remove. Back in 2007 I got myself an IBM laptop that came preinstalled with a demo version of Norton Antivirus that could not be removed by regular means. I literally had to hack the registry to make it gtfo.

    I have no idea why people can't figure out how to remove Windows Live Messenger though, but oh well.

  • No cos people just hate these anti viruses

  • its probaly becuz these people get these fake antiviruses posing as some antivirus like mcafee or norton but the "antivirus" is actually planting viruses so they wanna remove it

  • Don't see no Avast there :)

  • i use avg so thats not funny oh and tell me 5 things sophos can do that avg cant do

  • what. is. your. resolution..?

    o_O

  • Avast is cool way to protect ya self! But i try all tha kind of antivirus programs and i can tell ya, they all do tha work as long as yo stay out of porn sites and stuff!

    Net is bussines, use it smart!

    Keep tha good work Sophos! :)

  • Lol nice one Sophos..

  • Sorry to say this but Sophos isnt on there because you arent that well known and globaly used as much as norton and macafee, I used sophos and it is not very user friendly at all, I currently use avast and i would recomend them to all users note they are a free service unlike most others
