Kind of a re-hash of an old question (2012), I'm currently removing old kit from our racks & given some of it is now rapidly heading for 13 years + old & has only just been removed from service (Poweredge 2970 anybody?) I was wondering what the consensus.

How Old is too Old (Servers, not staff -) Hardware.Therefore, homes need a robust ‘business-grade’ offering, that doesn’t require an IT professional to run. Personal PCs and Macs can face many of the same, complex attacks that businesses face. Unlike other offerings, Sophos Home Premium isn’t watered-down security. Sophos Home Premium focuses on giving business-grade security to home users and making it simple to use. Plus, easy remote management allows users to secure multiple devices in any location from a simple web interface. It also can clean up previously infected computers with advanced malware removal. Sophos Home Premium privacy protection monitors access to your webcam, preventing unwanted spying.

Banking protection protects your banking and credit card information from being intercepted by third-parties and keylogger software.

Sophos Home Premium also includes advanced web protection, which blocks phishing sites and bad or compromised websites for safe browsing and shopping, plus adds parental web filtering. With advanced ransomware protection, it can stop the latest ransomware from encrypting your files and drives. Sophos Home Premium uses advanced real-time protection to protect against new and developing viruses, malware, Trojans, worms, bots, potentially unwanted apps (PUAs), ransomware, and program exploits. Sophos Home Premium’s annual subscription model allows users to stay one step ahead of hackers and malicious actors. Consequently, it is best to run scans at night or at other times of the day when the computer in question is not in use. These scans can take a while depending on how many files need to be analyzed. Both Sophos Home Free and Sophos Home Premium have this quick start and scan function.

The software highlights any problems that it comes across and keeps a record for later inspection. Once installed, Sophos only needs a single click to start up, run a virus check, and then remove any unwanted code. It bridges the gap between home users and IT professionals, but installing the software for the first time does drain system resources and will take some time, depending on your internet connection's bandwidth.

Thankfully, Sophos has a clear user interface that means anyone can install and run it without a problem. Given that so many antivirus programs need some computer knowledge and know-how to get them up and running, it is important to ask how Sophos Home Premium stacks up when it comes to home users. The developers also maintain a SophosLabs blacklist database of websites known to cause problems so, that Sophos Premium can stop visits to such sites occurring and provide warnings when bad links are clicked. Sophos Home Premium also encrypts files and drives to help maintain the user’s privacy when surfing the web. The subscription also includes advanced privacy protection, which safeguards against malicious actors taking control of a device’s webcam and microphone. Given that many homes now have at least one smart device per household member and at least a couple of computers, this makes the package attractive for families. As well as receiving better antivirus protection, premium subscribers can protect up to ten devices. These features all come free with Sophos Home Security Free, but advanced real-time protection only comes with Sophos Home Premium, which requires an annual subscription. The program continuously updates itself to stay ahead of the latest malware, whether it be Trojans, potentially unwanted apps (PUAs), ransomware, or spy bots. Sophos does this and even more effectively, for both Windows and iOS users, in real-time. Like other programs vying for attention in the security & privacy market, Sophos Home needs to protect from all types of potential viruses and malware. Sophos is also quite capable of protecting enterprise level networks as well as smaller family-based networks of computers.
