Sophos Anti-Virus is a tool that provides protection against all known virus types.

InterCheck technology keeps users safe by intercepting all files accessed and scanning them in real time. The Sophos Anti-Virus GUI allows users to scan files, folders and volumes on demand. Users can also use the new command-line interface to initiate scans.

Third-party developers can now incorporate Sophos Anti-Virus into their products using SAV Interface for Mac OS X.
