I am getting a task bar message "Sophos protection disabled". How can I correct this?
Thanks
Hello,
I'm experiencing the same problem with one of my colleague's
Sophos says "sophos protection disabled" and a red X is shown in the Sophos shield in the systray. All other users do not have this problem. In the Enterprise console the client is up to date and complies with policy.
I have already reinstalled the client and removed it from the Enterprise Console and reinstalled.
My colleague informed me the red x comes 5 minutes after Windows logon.
Sophos enterprise client 10.6

Hi,
The 5 minutes after startup would be the first update. For example: If a computer has been shutdown over night. You start it up, the Sophos AutoUpdate service will start and the first update check will be after 5 minutes. As it's been off there is a very good chance it will download and install a new ide.
You could try setting the following registry key:
32-bit machines
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sophos\AutoUpdate]
"StartupDelay"=dword:00000258
64bit machines
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\wow6432node\Sophos\AutoUpdate]
"StartupDelay"=dword:00000258
With this set, the updating process would kick off 10 minutes (600 seconds) after the Sophos AutoUpdate service starts rather than the default of 5.
I wonder if the computer would be more responsive 10 minutes after startup such that the update would happen quick enough that Action Center/Security Center doesn't jump in when it sees the update is happening. Might be worth trying for a few days to see if the behaviour changes.

Jak
