Full System Scan indicator

AlexM

Hi guys,

New to the forum and have a question regarding system console 4.0 and full system scanning.

Right-clicking on a workstation and selecting "Full System Scan..." you need to click OK on the pop-up to proceed. My issue is that once you click on OK  there is no indictor on the console that a scan is running on that workstation. Is there a way to enable this or is this a limitation with the product?

    In the meantime you can tell if the Scan has started/finished by looking in the logs on the client machine. There are two logs

    C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\logs\ Scan my computer.txt

    And

    C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\logs\Right-Click Scan.txt

    The log file tells you all the information you require, but I agree having this information reported to the console would make things far more easier.

    Example log file

    20100511 094428       Scan 'Scan my computer' started.

    20100511 095005       Scan 'Scan my computer' paused.

    20100511 095006       Scan 'Scan my computer' aborted.

    20100511 095006       Summary of results for scan 'Scan my computer':

                            Items scanned: 184

                            Errors: 0

                            Items quarantined: 0

                            Items dealt with: 0
