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 DrM

    I don't have the plugin anywhere I can find on my Mac but I do have the option to scan a file from the Services menu when Option-clicking on the file. It won't appear if you haven't first clicked on a file to scan.

    Check you have it (wherever it is) by opening Keyboard Preference Pane, click on Keyboard Shortcuts and select Services in the left hand part. Scroll down the list on the right a mouse whisker and Scan Now With Sophios should be listed and ticked.

    You can also get to the window by going to the Services menu when no files are selected, down to Services and select Services Preferences.

    I have searched for a file named "Sophos Anti-Virus.plugin" anywhere on my computer and no such luck.  I appreciate your following through with this and I am very willing to do the "detective work" if you can guide me to the path that will reinstate the "Scan with Sophos Anti-virus" in the file drop-down menu.  

    Thank you - DrM
