Won't start automatically - but great when it does!
I have used Sophos as a business user for many years, and have always been impressed with how it operates. However, as I am no longer employed, it was time to purchase a personal copy. I must say that - once operating! - it is as flawless as I would expect. However, I do have a problem in that it will not start automatically when my computer is first powered on. It's not a show-stopper - the dialog pops up saying I'm not entirely protected, and I have to start the 'Hitman Pro Alert' service manually. Although I try to set it to an 'automatic' start. it never 'sticks'. It's more of an inconvenience, to be honest - the 30 seconds or so it take to start the application is well worth while. And once running, I'm fully protected and it just does its job. So, I can't give it 5 starts - I wish I could as I believe it is worth it!
