  • Hi,

    SAV does require this service for other actions other than updating Action/Security Center.  It's not however used to send back status to SEC, the Sophos Agent Service (part of RMS) does this by loading adapter dlls (one per managed component), so in the case of SAV it's SAVAdapter.dll.  This in effect talks to the SAVService to ask for configuration, set configuration etc...
