Sophos deactivating Windows 8.1

danindub

Hi guys,

It would appear that Sophos Antivirus is detecting virus in Windows 8.1 in following files:

C:\Windows\System32\sppsvc.exe

C:\Windows\System32\sppcext.dll

As a result it's breaking Windows 8.1 activation system. We tried to exclude files from on-access scanning, but activation is breaking regardless.

Please assist.

    i am getting the same detection of sppcext.dll for every new tablet pc i install. it comes up in the Enterprise console as Mal/FakeAV-MR. 

    is this a false reading. every windows 8.1 Tablet i install sophos on, and the tablets are brand new, are getting quarentined?
