  • Hello  

    If you have a XP/2003 Extended Support license then you should be OK, and Sophos should install/update accordingly. If you are not sure if you have Extended Support, you should be able to check this in Sophos Central under Licensing, or please contact your Sophos Partner to confirm.

    If you have Extended Support, run the Diagnostic tool to see what other service(s) are not running. Click on "Run Diagnostic Tool" from the Sophos UI > About screen:

    You should also check out this link that  sent, there are steps that could solve the issue you are having.

  • I have carried out the steps from Shweta and still no change?

     

  • Hello  

    That event is old. Please send a screenshot of the screen after clicking on "Run Diagnostic Tool" and go under Services. 

    You can also look at the System tab there to see if there are any pending reboots, which could potentially resolve the issue as well.

  • No seen that tab yet thanks!

    23/12/19 is probably about the time the Ransomware came in, everything was encrypted post Christmas break

     

  • Hello  

    Can you please look into the install logs for Sophos File Integrity Monitoring? It could be failing to install for some reason that is why the service is "missing" and could not start.

    The logs are in C:Windows\Temp, and look for the most recent Sophos File Integrity Monitoring setup log<timestamp>.txt and Sophos File Integrity Monitoring install log<timestamp>.txt files.

    See if you can find strings such as "Error" (which should eventually show an error code), or "Failed" (should also tell what failed, etc.).

     

  • Hello  

    Okay thanks, Can you also please find the most recent Sophos File Integrity Monitoring install log<timestamp>.txt file also in C:\Windows\Temp?

    Thanks!

  • I did check this but I found no errors but here is the text.
