Hi
OI decided to test the standalose version os Sophos Endpoint Security on a Windows Vista x64 box.
I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the program uses an old school approach, and does not make assumptions
Each process is lbocked by default unless you allow it. I love it.
I decided to buy Sophos for my Home computers. I have a Windows 7 Laptop and a Vista x64 desktop.
I wrote an email to the support asking forpricing.
ALL the other antivirus companies state clearly what is the price for their packag, i did not find this info on your Websites/webshops?
1.Howcome is that? Do you work only with corporate customers?
2.Why did my software work flawlessly for some time, and than all of a sueedn i recieved a message that i do not have enough admin rights?
3.After searchin for a solution i did an command, forcing a reinstall based on files in the cache.
MsiExec.exe /i "c:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\cache\savxp\Sophos Anti-Virus.msi" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=voums UPDATEDRIVERS=0 /l*v c:\msi.log /qb
The admin windows disapeared, but now my software has stopped updating after this "procedure".
i deleted all the stuff from the cache folder, updates starte dworking again.
But why is this. A normal program should not require user intervention on this level, this is stupid, i am disapointed.
So i am baffled?
-Do i really want to buy this for my home computers? Please guys tell me thare is a magical solution for updates to start working again? did my trial expire? where is this info?
-Here is some info from my software's logs
