Scanning from the Finder

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.

  • I have used SOPHOS on mac Snow Leopard where I get the "Scan with Sophos" option if I click on a file menu.  That is very simple and VERY helpful - Please DO NOT do away with it!

    However, now using mac LION and the menu option "Scan with Sophos" does not appear, forcing me to create a separate scan for the file in question.  This is, of course, much slower and a bit tedious.  Is there a way to make the menu option available in LION.  I did not have to do anything special in Snow Leopard -  it simply appeared once the program was installed.  But not with LION.  Would appreciate some help in this direction.
    Thank you,
