Sophos Home products are not for use on College-provided computers.

Do you need home virus protection?

Great news if you need virus protection for your home computer! 

TCC employees are eligible for a free license of Sophos Home Commercial Edition and its premium features for as long as TCC participates in this program and you are employed by TCC. If TCC no longer participates in the program or you are no longer employed by TCC when your license to Sophos Home Commercial Edition is up for renewal, your license to Sophos Home Commercial Edition will not be renewed, and instead your license will automatically revert to Sophos Home Free. With that transition to Sophos Home Free you will enjoy a level of protection, but you will no longer enjoy the premium features of Sophos Home Commercial Edition. See Sophos's website for additional details

This benefit is available specifically to TCC employees for your private home use as part of the College's software license.

If you decide to install a new home anti-virus, whether Sophos or another quality product, it is highly recommended that you remove any anti-virus, third-party firewall or other security products from your computer prior to installation. See your anti-virus, firewall or security software documentation for the proper removal of their products.  Please use discretion when making changes, as TCC IT staff are unable to assist with personally owned devices.
