Problem to activate on-access scanning

Hello,

I can not activate the on-access scanning.

Here is how I installed sophos:


Do you accept the licence? Yes(Y)/No(N)
> yes
Where do you want to install Sophos Anti-Virus? [/opt/sophos-av]
>
Warning: There is another installation of Sophos Anti-Virus on this computer.
Do you want to enable on-access scanning? Yes(Y)/No(N)

Sophos recommends that you configure Sophos Anti-Virus to auto-update.
It can update either from Sophos directly (requiring username/password details) or from your own server (directory or website (possibly requiring username/password)).
Which type of auto-updating do you want? From Sophos(s)/From own server(o)/None(n) [s]
>
Updating directly from Sophos.
Do you wish to install the Free (f) or Supported (s) version of SAV for Linux? [s]
> f
The Free version of Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux comes with no support.
Forums are available for our free tools at http://openforum.sophos.com/
Do you need a proxy to access Sophos updates? Yes(Y)/No(N)

Fetching free update credentials.
Installing Sophos Anti-Virus....
Selecting appropriate kernel support...
When Sophos Anti-Virus starts, it updates itself to try to find a Sophos kernel interface module update.
This might cause a significant delay.
Sophos Anti-Virus starts after installation.
Installation completed.

espite this installation, on-scanning is not enabled.

  • Hello Mickael Caramel,

    what was next after Installation completed?
    It should either download Talpa binaries for your kernel (which version?) or attempt to compile it, if successful it says:
    NOTE: You are running Sophos Anti-Virus on a kernel for which Sophos does not provide binary kernel
    modules. Therefore the kernel modules have been locally compiled. Please see KBA14377 for supported
    platforms and kernels.

    What is the response to /opt/sophos-av/bin/savdctl enable?
