Autoupdate failed and insufficient rights to do anything with Sophos

Hi Sophos team,

I had to register as I have annoying problem with Sophos. The most I got from my IT admin (who is in Denmark while I am on a stay in China) is to uninstall it and instal something else. While that's the last option. I will give a last try to ask you.

I neither have the rights to manipulate with Sophos properly (it says "insufficient right"), nor the autoupdate funtion works. This is all from today when I tried to delete a virus or whatever was it from usb, and I noticed the first one. Once I tried to fix using your (increadibly confusing and overloaded) forums, the auto-update stoped working as well. Its a bit annoying and I got a bit frustrated.

1. I have tried to fix the "sufficient rights" issue by following your posted procedure i.e. updating the SID numbers using the SophosLocalGroups.txt file but it didn't work. I also downloaded some file, and than copied it in the indicated lcoation and run it (which was suppose to automatically updade the SIDS) but it was waste of time in both reading and doing it.

2. I have tried to fix the auto-update issue, i even don't remember what I did, but i stoped the Sophos virus protection and did what was written in your post and activated it again. It didn't work.

Is there any solution except spending hours and trying to understand what SID and DSN settings are or?

Thanks a lot,

Kiril

p.s. for the record, when I start up my pc, the notification appears with "Sophos Endpoing Secirity and Control updater has faild to download", and in the update log the following appears (the other updates seem to work properly- as it says in the log):
