Hi,
I've used the standard EICAR anti-virus test file to check the operation of SophosAV on the following:
Windows XP Home 2002 SP2 Pentium
Windows 7 Enterprise 2009 SP1 Xeon E5430
RedHat Enterprise 5.1 - 2.6.15-53.el5 - gcc 4.1.2 -
Centos (CNServer) - 2.6.18-53.el5 - gcc 4.1.1
The only one that worked as expected was the RedHat installation, detecting the test file both on access and demand. The XP and Windows 7 installations detected the test file on access. The Centos installation failed on both access and demand.
I was unable to test the on-demand operation of the Windows installations because although I explicitly selected a USB stick to be scanned, both Windows installations insisted on scanning the entire C: drive and I hadn't got the time to see what happened when they had completed.
The XP installation identified a legitimate (I think) file as a piece of 'malware' and refused to complete the scan until it was dealt with (which, because it was legit I didn't want to do).
The Centos installation indicates a problem in its log file 'Unable to load Talpa modules' though both the AV and Web services are running.
It's likely to be as much my ignorance as any shortcoming in the software but I'm running out of ideas.
All the installations are standalone.
Linux: sav-linux-7-i386.tgz
Windows: savw_97_sa_sfx.exe
Thanks
