Disabling Web Content Scanner.

JaffNSX

Hi,

We are running endpoint security Version 4 and version 9 of sophos on the machines.

I need to globally disable the plugin within ie "sophos web content scanner"

When looking through endpoint security you would assume "web content scanning is:" option within antivirus and hips policy would disable that plugin.

So i selected it to "off"

and the ie plugin is still enabled.

I also found this article on the Sophos knowledge base but it is refering to a older version of sophos and i can not find the savconf.xml file it is refering to on this installation of endpoint.

sophos article

Has anyone got any ideas how i can disable this plugin centrally? Our machines are not logging onto a domain so a gpo will not work. Is it possible to amend a file like in the above article or anything else i can try?

Thanks,

    We are needing to disable the plugin because it IS causing problems for us.  When IE launches we see a "page cannot be displayed" error and then when we hit f5 or go to another site, the browser works.  But for our end users, it is too much.  If we disable it, IE works fine.

    It can be disabled using the registry, but this is not a simple solution.
    Looking forward to a better solution while working with Sophos tech for a better fix to the issues.
