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,

    Sophos was, to the best of my knowledge already running and configured to it when I purchased the system

    That's interesting as Sophos is not licensed to home users. Did you get it from your school/university?

    As authorize is not an option for files classified a Mal (malicious) you can only add an exception for the file - it should be easy to find (Configure -> Anti-Virus -> On-access scanning ...).
