A orange bar that shows Encrypting would show up as I type on my keyboard. What is that? Is it something part of Sophos?

Wee Teoh

Hello,

I don't know what happen but today when I started typing anything on my PC, an orange bar that shows Encrypting would show up on the bottom right of my screen. 

And next to it, it would look like a sophos logo in green. 

I never come across this before, so I'm curious and would want to verify if this is part of Sophos feature? 

If yes, why it didnt' show up previously and it shows up now. 

Thanks.

    It seems that some people (possibly everyone on free) has been switched to a premium trial with the recent Sophos update. I have asked Sophos for an explanation as I read "encrypting" and, after remembering the spurious keyboard warning thought that I had activated some Ransome ware! I  then hit the power off and it has been off until Sophos confirm to me what has happened. If they have deliberately activated premium trials without a user's permission then I will be very annoyed.

    So how did you turn the encrypting function? I turned it off and on and it's still the same. 

    OR is there a way to disable to premiumtrial?


    Thanks.
