I figure many of us have had some *wonderful* support experiences and have been forced to device our own solutions to problems. I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread to share possible fixes we have each found and hopefully solve some problems together. Here are some of the things I have found:
For Missing Web Intelligence service - run this command: |
C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\Web Intelligence\swi_service.exe /registerService |
Start the new service |
For Sophos System Protection service stuck in stopping state: |
Delete the following registry key: |
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Products\{F8FFD42E-47AC-4CFF-9E27-EC84ED62128E} |
Restart the service 'Sophos Autoupdate' |
For Sophos Network Threat Protection service crashing: |
Change the service login from Local Service to Network Service (no password) |
For Sophos Web Control service missing: |
Check if the service is not registered (this key will not exist): |
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Service\Sophos Web Control Service |
If needed, re-register the service: |
C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\Web Control\swc_service.exe /service |
Start the new service |
