Possible to configure to scan automatically?

suzanne

Hello:

I am new to Mac and Sophos.  Is it possible to set up Sophos to scan automatically at a specific time each day?  Thank you.

    Does Sophos also protect against attempts to access the Mac?  In Windows, I used to get occasional notification that Norton had blocked such an attempt.

    No; however, Apple has their own firewall that blocks connection attempts, but doesn't bug the user with connection attempts (the information is still there though, if you open Console.app and read the firewall log).  The Mac Home Edition of SAV only detects malicious files being written to your computer, or existing on your computer.
