Other release notes

You should also read the Sophos Core Agent release notes. They cover the changes, resolved issues and known issues for the core components.

For information about the changes to the Sophos Core Agent, see the Sophos Core Agent release notes.

But then, although I installed HitmanPro.Alert before Sophos acquired SurfRight in 2015, I receive ongoing updates to HitmanPro.Alert without seeing any new labelling. “Meanwhile, the paid version of Hitman Pro only offers advanced malware removal and potentially unwanted application (PUA) removal. Sophos stops everything malicious and provides us with alerts, so we can respond quickly—and that’s worth its weight in gold.” Cliff Hogan, CIO, D4C Dental Brands Switching to Sophos Central was a simple transition and 80% of the work was carried out within just one week.”.

For information about the changes to Sophos Endpoint Advanced, see the Sophos Endpoint Advanced release notes.

We have a Sophos UTM in use and have STAS installed on both domain controllers and configured accordingly on the Sophos. However, the web filter shows when the clients are surfing only user=' So the user data is not entered, so the users are not authenticated. So all web requests are applied to the default content filter. HitmanPro.Alert blocks what other security software misses. The initial scan removes all traces and remnants of any malware – even those left behind by your previous security software HitmanPro.Alert then continues to keep you protected, stopping new threats from infecting your computer.

If you think your antivirus alone is enough to stay safe from today’s advanced malware threats, you might want to get a second opinion.

Sophos Hitmanpro Alert Failed To Install

Today’s malware is difficult to detect, difficult to remove and difficult to recover from. We estimate that less than 10% of all the new samples analyzed by SophosLabs is previously known malware. You wouldn’t want to gamble with those odds, and you surely don’t want to gamble with your endpoint security.

Sophos Next-Generation Endpoint Security uses signature-less threat detection and response capabilities to better protect you against zero-day attacks, advanced threats and crypto-ransomware that can evade traditional, signature-based endpoint products.

Now we’ve added another tool to our arsenal. We’re calling it Sophos Clean, the next generation of malware detection and removal tools.

When Sophos acquired SurfRight last December, we knew we were getting a great company with innovative technology to complement our industry leading, next-gen endpoint protection solution.

As an added bonus, we acquired SurfRight’s popular HitmanPro malware scanning and removal tool, used by more than 23 million users worldwide. Among its industry accolades, HitmanPro recently received a Q1 2016 MRG Effitas 360 Degree Assessment award, one of just five products certified for neutralizing and successfully remediating all threats in real-world testing.

Now we’ve built Sophos Clean on top of the cutting-edge HitmanPro technology, using progressive behavior analytics, forensics and collective intelligence to discover and remove all traces of malware threats that your antivirus might miss.

Resilient malware attacks critical system files or boot records to manipulate Windows and antivirus software – even before the operating system boots. Sophos Clean can remove persistent threats from within the operating system and replace infected Windows resources with safe original versions. Reinfection attempts are proactively blocked until threat remediation has finished.

Sophos Clean is certainly thorough, but it’s also fast.

With a minimal footprint of just 11 MB, Sophos Clean can scan and remediate infections in less than five minutes, because it can immediately distinguish safe applications from malicious software through advanced behavior analysis. And it checks against our Sophos cloud database of trusted applications, reducing instances of false positives.

The on-demand scan does not need to be installed, which is particularly useful in cases of ransomware infection or in situations where malware is manipulating the installed antivirus software and its updates.

Hitman Pro Sophos

Sophos Clean runs alongside any anti-malware protection you already have. You can scan directly from a USB flash drive, CD/DVD or network attached storage.

Simple. Fast. Clean.
