Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition return codes

When trying to install Anti Virus for Mac I get "Error code 407". This occurs during the Updates Phase of install. One thought occurs to me, I routinely have to manually log into our Proxy Server to go out to the Internet. Could this be the hang up?

407 is the code for HTTP Proxy authentication required, so .. yeah..

You should be able to provide proxy authentication creds.

My proxy requires basic authentication; the installer is not prompting for my proxy's username and password, and I'm unable to continue.

If you get Failed authentication or Installer cannot connect to sophos...........

Try to check your date, you may found out you have a date that's not current.

If so, change it to current and it should work fine.

This is what I did, installation completed without a single problem afterward.

Gr8 tip! I pressed my centre mouse button to get the calendar to appear and it was blank....lol   So all I did was click on the calendar, the date reappeared, and then I went back and completed the installation and it worked fine...ty

i culdn't install sophos.

i keep getting this message

"The installer cannot connect to Sophos, although your Mac appears to be connected to the internet. Please check your network settings and click Continue again"

any solutions? my internet connection is working normally

Hi, can you please explain what calendar you are referring to and how to get to it? Thanks!

This is an idiotic problem, someone needs to fix it - after trying to install like 6 times for at least half an hour - i just clicked on the little date/timestamp in the corner of my screen and it showed the date, then i went back to the installer and ran the internet connection step to check for updates and it worked.

Totally agree. All I did was click on the clock. Open the preferences and then closed it. Install worked!

In order to fix the problem, the development team would need to be able to replicate it.

Would those of you who have had this problem be able to proovide more details?  This almost sounds to me like some sort of a conflict between menu bar items.  What services/programs do you have showing icons on the right hand side of your menu bar?  Do you have any haxies or other third party system enhancements installed?
