\"sophoshq\"Sophos Inc., a provider of\u00a0network and endpoint security solutions, has launched Sophos Clean<\/a>, the latest addition to its portfolio of security software.<\/p>\n

Built on technology acquired from SurfRight B.V. in December 2015, Sophos Clean uses progressive behavior analytics, forensics and collective intelligence to discover and remove code from zero-day threats, Trojans, rootkits, polymorphic malware, irritating cookies, spyware, and adware.<\/p>\n

Sophos Clean is an 11MB, on-demand malware scanner which can be started directly from a USB flash drive, CD\/DVD or network attached storage device. The tool can scan and remediate in five minutes, according to Sophos, without leaving a footprint on the local system.<\/p>\n

Sophos Clean’s 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 installed security software.<\/p>\n

“The need for next-generation endpoint protection that doesn’t rely on signatures is long established. Zero-day threats and some ransomware like Cryptolocker can only be detected by the integrated capabilities of exploit prevention, behavior analytics and pre-execution heuristics built into our endpoint protection software today,” commented Dan Schiappa, general manager and senior vice president for Enduser Security at Sophos. “Sophos Clean can complement any installed anti-malware software by providing a second opinion on suspected files. With a minimal footprint and fast scan, Sophos Clean will quickly identify and remove all residual traces of malware.”<\/p>\n
