sophos anti virus questions

shaunm

Hi,

I have a few questions about the sophos anti virus software. I have questions about the software such as component filepaths and settings. I have sophos anti virus software installed on my computer. I have a laptop running windows 7. It's a 64 bit os. I paid for it at a retail store. I do not have any free sophos products. I am not a company. I am a home user. I have some tech knowledge. Someone mentioned that this is the right place to post / ask about this type of stuff.

So I would like to ask if this is the right place for me to post? 


For example two things I would like to ask are.

What is the file path for the on access scanning logs? So I am able to get more detailed info. from scans.

I would also like to config a custom scan for certain file types but I do not see a option for this, am I missing something or If I am correct is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,

shaunm

    Hi Shaunm,

    Since you're a home user , I suppose you're using Sophos Endpoint Stand Alone version.

    Scanning Logs ( Antivirus and Hips Logs ) can be view from  here (View antii-virus and HIPS Log )

    and you can see and configure the location of the log files from here :

    then for modifying and custom scan for any type of file you can open menu Configure> Anti-Virus > On access scanning > Extension Tab, and add or delete file type that you like to include or exclude from scanning.

    And yes you can post questions to this forum, or you could also email your questions to support@sophos.com .

    cheers,

    Antonius A.
