Disabling Web Content Scanner.

JaffNSX

Hi,

We are running endpoint security Version 4 and version 9 of sophos on the machines.

I need to globally disable the plugin within ie "sophos web content scanner"

When looking through endpoint security you would assume "web content scanning is:" option within antivirus and hips policy would disable that plugin.

So i selected it to "off"

and the ie plugin is still enabled.

I also found this article on the Sophos knowledge base but it is refering to a older version of sophos and i can not find the savconf.xml file it is refering to on this installation of endpoint.

sophos article

Has anyone got any ideas how i can disable this plugin centrally? Our machines are not logging onto a domain so a gpo will not work. Is it possible to amend a file like in the above article or anything else i can try?

Thanks,

    Sheesh, these posts are from March 2010 and there are still issues with this. We too get pages not fully loading as well as multi-page printouts only printing the first page. Only in IE8 though, but we only tested in IE8.

    Disabling the Sophos Web Content Sanner add-on in IE8 fixes all of it. We went though each add-on to check if it was any of them and that is how we found it to be the Sophos one.

    Thanks for the thread! We will be disabling ours too.
