Insufficient Rights and Sophos

I caused the problem myself, I know it, but I would appreciate any advice to fix it.

I installed Sophos using one user account, I then at some point decided to rename the account. Rather than renaming, as the computer was new with no data, the easy alternative was to create a new account, log off from the old account, log on to the new account, then delete the old account.

The result is the account I installed Sophos with has been deleted, and using the new account I get a lot of "insufficient privleges" messages. So I decided to uninstall Sophos, and reinstall it using the new (and permanent) account.

You guessed it, I have "insufficient privleges" to uninstall Sophos. So, I have a flawed version of Sophos, and no way to remove it.

Can anyone shed some light on how I can rectify this problem?

Many thanks in advance......

  • Thanks Joe for the prompt reply.

    I hate to be such a nube, but can you tell exactly how I would do such a thing?

    I can open the SAV GUI, but the quarantine area is greyed out.

    Exactly how do i put the account I'm using now into the local Sophos Administrators group?

    Many thanks again in advance.
