Fake AV Malware Not Stopped

Stony

Why doesn't Sophos stop Malware, especially Fake AV malware, like it does viruses? We have a corporate license and all machines are up-to-date with Sophos AV but more & more we spend too much time removing malware & tracking down other changes that were made by the malware that have disabled programs.

    So is there any solution to this?

    I work for a large organisation and we have multiple layers of security including the latest Sophos but yet malware gets through far too often. Sophos detects it far too late and there nothing Sophos can do to remove it. We have to end up using Malware Bytes to remove it, and sometimes even re-image the machine.

    This is a list of some of the Malware that has got through:

    Windows Security Suite

    Windows Defender

    HDD Repair VirusSecurity Warning

    Windows Recovery

    XP Security

    PC Repair

    Windows XP Restore

    We use OpenDNS, the customer has limited rights on the machine, we patch our systems regularly, update Sophos regularly...

    Suggestions/Solutions?
