How to Stop the End point and Security Client from scanning

Rodeoboy

There are some times that I need to disable Sophos Endpoint from Scanning when I do installation of Network software.  However when I disable the Onaccess scanning, Web Scanning and Sophos Live Protection - It still manages to flag and quarantine files.

How do you stop Sophos from Scanning in order to install software?

Just wondering,

    Well the last problem I had was trying to do a scan with Combofix cause one of the computers was acting funny and my Cisco professor suggested using combofix.  So when I went to scan the drive with it, Sophos quarantined 2 files it was trying to use to scan with.  Then it went haywire on reboot - I had to do a restore to get it back.

    I know in the past while trying to patch our Netware server system, Sophos quarantined a file and it jacked up the patch and I had to backrev the server software and do it again with a computer that did not have Sophos installed on it.

    Normally I leave Sophos running during installs but when patching an OS or something related to the OS that I think will mess up the system I turn it off.
