Some quick help needed

CJRyan

Hi there,

I use Sophos Anti-Virus 7.6.19 and while I know this might sound like a stupid question, I was wondering how I could turn protection off temporarily? Something I am using which I categorically know not to be a virus is tripping the anti-virus off so I need to turn Sophos off entirely while I use it. Unfortunately, my efforts so far have only resulted in my being able to banish it to the system tray, and not off altogether. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hello CJRyan,

    you can't turn it off temporarily- if you have turned it off you have to remember to turn it on again. Ah - and don't expect "quick help" over the weekend :smileyhappy: As you obviously have neither installed nor configured Sophos yourself you are usually only eligible for an answer like: Ask your friendly administrator.

    But I do like your style and orthography and I think you deserve a little bit more details. If you don't know and/or haven't found out how to turn off Sophos in this case you are most likely not in a position to know something not to be a virus. These are famous words and if not last then next-to-last. But now we are back to "Just ask your administrator" - and if you don't know him/her this might be a good time to make up for it.

    BTW: tell us which rule has been triggered and a little bit about the "something" and we might give you some arguments for your use with your admin.
