Sophos Protection Disabled

redwheelbarrow

Getting message over Sophos icon right-bottom saying "Sophos protection disabled." Cannot find how to "enable" it.  Thanks.

    HI,

    If you open up SAV by right clicking on the shield and choose "Open Sophos Endpoint Security and Control", what status does it have in the top left Status window:

    On-access scanning: Enabled | Disabled ?

    Firewall: Enabled | Disabled ?

    etc..

    The other test worth doing is to launch "Windows Task Manager" (TaskMgr.exe), in the process list "End Process" Almon.exe.  Then mouse over the system tray icon to force a repaint of the system tray by Windows and the shield should disappear.   If you then run from Start -> Run for example:

    \Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Almon.exe

    or

    \Program Files\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Almon.exe

    This will re-launch the shield, if you move over it again, does it still display the same warning?  This will guarantee a refresh of the state at least.

    Regards,

    Jak
