Sophos Standalone (No network)

Arnold_Layne

Is there any way that we can run Sophos Antivirus on standalone non-networked non-internet computers. Ideally I could update the definitions to each PC daily or when required but don't see a way of doing this.

    I said: I would try the following ...

    Never thought it'd work :smileywink:. Formatted the stick formatted with NTFS (SUM had a problem creating the folders, so I just formatted it with NTFS and it worked then ...). And running setup from the stick configures it as the update location. It could of course use some fine tuning (like using a subscription to a fixed version or pre-configuring the policies) but in principle it seems to work.

    I'll probably never use it so it was just an academic exercise and I'm curious: what do you do with these off-net computers and why do you have to protect them with Sophos? Why not some HDD protection?
