Feature Request: Sophos Home Tamper Protection

Enrick Ordono

I am tied between choosing Sophos Home or Emsisoft Anti-Malware. I was initially going to go for Sophos Home because of their integration of Intercept-X into their home products. I then found out that Sophos Home does not implement the tamper protection feature in their home products like they do in their enterprise products. Because of this, I would feel unsafe knowing that malicious software and hackers can easily disable the software. I would just like to request for this feature to be added in Sophos Home because it is a very essential part of an anti-virus program.

    Do we know when this is likely to be implemented? Disabling Sophos Home is trivial with a simple 'net stop' or 'taskkill /f /im' command. This really needs fixing as a user with only a basic grasp of the command line could completely bypass Sophos protection. Malware can invoke a batch file to disable Sophos, then run a simple certutil decode command to decode a base64 encoded malware executable which can then be executed. Not difficult at all!
