Upgrading from SAV 9.7 to SAV10 on Windows 7

pdc

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of testing deployments of SAV 10 (upgrading from 9.7), before I start pushing updates out to all of our staff.

As part of the upgrade process, I spotted that the upgrade procedure will temporarily remove (or disable) the Sophos anti-virus programme (as version 10 is installing). This automatically triggers the microsoft action center alert, stating "find an anti-virus program online (important)", which I think might spook a few employees.

From what I can see there's no way around preventing this message, from appearing, using an active directory GPO setting, as microsoft appear to have this as a default setting.

Apart from sending out a mass email to the business, to warn them of this, is there any other means to prevent this notification?

Many thanks,

pdc

    Hi Tyomni, This would be sufficient if I was simply upgrading a handful of PCs, but when looking to uplift hundreds of systems, this is not an option. From what I can see in GPO editor, it's not possible to disable the 'anti-virus alert' action center settings. I have seen suggestions where you can set registry values, in the user configuration preferences, in which you can disable firewall and backup alerts, but you cannot set a value to disable the AV notification.
