Scanning from the Finder

bobcook

Doing a bit of thinking about the existing feature set in the product and wanted to get some feedback. Today there is a feature that allows you to scan a folder or file from the Finder (right click and select Scan with Sophos Anti-Virus). There isn't any specific configuration for this option, it just uses whatever settings are configure for Scan Local Drives.

Looking for some feedback from users with strong feelings about this feature (scanning from the Finder). Something you use regularly? Would you miss it if we took away this feature? If we keep it, do you want to configure it separately? If you're thinking "meh, could live with it or without it" then no need to reply. If you feel really strongly, let me know about it in this thread.

    Hi Bob,

    I used to use it regularly, but every once in a while it disappears and I have to re-start it manually :)  I've recently switched to just running a custom scan using my own contextual applescript because I got tired of the contextual menu vanishing (under SAV 7, haven't had this problem under SAV 8 yet).  I guess I could probably make it even speedier by just scripting the terminal app.

    Then again, I'm probably not your typical home user.

    Any other power users or regular users care to comment?
