Sophos Clean is designed to discover viruses, trojans, rootkits, spyware, and other malware on up-to-date and fully-protected computers. Instead of relying on signatures, the program gathers actionable intelligence and examines the collected information. This signatureless approach allows the scanner to discover which files act and look like malware. Sophos Clean removes persistent threats from within the operating system and replaces infected Windows resources with the original, safe versions. Reinfection attempts are proactively blocked until threat remediation is completed.
