Hello glen chung,

I still need a username and password to update Sophos AV
what makes you think so? Apparently install was successful, and the prompt when you try to update the configuration suggests that a username is configured.

Hello,

When you are installing SAV for Linux, please select the free version. You should see this option:

Do you wish to install the Free (f) or Supported (s) version of SAV for Linux? [s]

Please select f and you should not needto enter any credentials.

Thanks
