Real-time protection shows disabled in Sophos Cloud.

On 10-15-2015 there was a large Client update for Sophos and caused a DDoS on our network and shut everything down. I have 15 computers that say real-time protection is disabled in Sophos Cloud even after I completely uninstall/reinstall Sophos.

Does anyone have any ideas I can try?

Hi,

Are all of the Sophos Services running on these computers? If not, can they be started? Can you launch SAVMain.exe from the program files directory?

Regards,
Jak

  When I try to start any of the Sophos Services that aren't running I get the following error:
  
  "Windows could not start the Sophos Anti-Virus service on 10.5.30.35.
  Error 0x800736b1: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail."
  
  When I try to open the main Sophos program it never starts.
  I can uninstall Sophos without Authenticating and disabling tamper protection.

what happens if you run:
C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Cache\decoded\savxp\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe

possibly:
