PDF Viewing via Edge and Chrome is freezing since Sophos

We're rolling out Sophos Central Endpoint Advanced to a firm that use to have Panda 360. The migration is going fine but have several machines with the same problem. That is if Adobe Reader is not installed OR is not the default program to open PDFs, then either Edge or Chrome opens the PDF and freezes/locks up when either saving the file or printing it, viewing is absolutely fine. It has only ever started to occur since the introduction of Sophos. I know this because the rest of machines with Panda still in use, dont have this issue and never have.

At this stage I dont know if the issue only affects those on VPN. The firm has a lot working from home and so far it seems to affect those on SSL VPN via their Sophos UTM device. I've yet to hear anyone in the office(s) have the same issue.

I've turned off Remote File Scanning, made no difference.

Out of interest, has anyone else experienced this?

  • Many thanks for the replies. Its Easter holidays now so wont be able to test until at least next Tuesday.

    The files are local and only occurs when PDFs are viewed via the browsers. So the user will log onto a website, download the PDF (locally) but as soon as they view it in the browser that is when the program freezes.

    Will report back
