    I have a couple of questions about the Advisory 118311

    2. Windows Exclusions
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sophos\
    C:\Program Files\Sophos\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\
    C:\ProgramData\Sophos\
    Exclude Remote Files

    Why should we exclude remote files? Isn't a "remote file" any file on a UNC path? Would that block scanning of anything that's not a drive letter - such as DFS shares accessed through the UNC??

    3. Enable Live Protection within the 'Sophos Live Protection' option

    Why? I haven't had this enabled before, why do I need to do it now?
