Sophos Virus Removal Tool - Config.xml

Hi,

I am trying to find information on the settings that are possible within Config.xml, in particular if there is any way of configuring the location of the log file.

 

Thanks

  • Hi Christian,

    I have checked the server and I have found that  there are newer versions of these files:-

    SAVI.DLL

    OSDP.DLL

    VEEX.DLL 

    These are all dated 2/2/2017, I have updated the files in the folder.

    Now when we run SAV32CLI with the -v switch we get the following output:-

    Sophos Anti-Virus
    Copyright (c) 1989-2015 Sophos Plc. All rights reserved.

    System time 16:04:43, System date 09 March 2017

    Product version           : 1.01.1
    Engine version            : 3.67.3
    Virus data version        : 5.10
    User interface version    : 2.99.000
    Platform                  : Win32/Intel
    Released                  : 06 January 2015
    Total viruses (with IDEs) : 8477637

    The version numbers for a number of these entries look to be earlier than ones that you have and the problem still persists.

    Thanks

  • Hello Andrew,

    you need the consolidated detection libraries (*.vdb) as well. Not sure if there are other files. To be on the safe side use the entire \Sophos Anti-Virus\ folder.

  • Hi Christian,

    I have copied the IDE and VDB files SAVI.DLL, OSDP.DLL, VEEX.DLL and VDL.DAT from the server.

    Now when we run SAV32CLI with the -v switch we get the following output:-

    Sophos Anti-Virus

    Although the version numbers for a number of these entries still look to be earlier than ones that you have I am very glad to say that the problem looks to be resolved.

    Thanks Again

  • Hello Andrew,

    earlier than ones that you have
    I was using the 10.7.2 version (sorry for the possible confusion) which has an updated (3.68) engine (as usual the Engine Release Notes are quite unspectacular). And I haven't noticed the improvements or changes with the user interface .004 [;)].
    Most important is the Virus data version (it is updated monthly when new .vdbs are added.
