Sophos Blocks Spirent Test Center

mcorsello

I have engineers that use the TestCenter.exe application to automate testing of network switches we design. The software pulls up Firefox and runs through all the clicking and typing they would typically have to do manually. When I install Sophos End User Protection on the machine the scripts no longer work. I've excluded the application the directory and stopped the Sophos AV service all to no affect, but if I uninstall Sophos it works again.

Has anyone seen this behavior? Can anyone offer any advice?

    Hello mcorsello,

    that's not much information to work with. Apparently it's not on-access scanning (anyway, you'd get a pop-up or at least an entry in the log SAV.txt when something is blocked).

    the scripts no longer work

    Now, not knowing the Spirent product I have no idea what this no longer work looks like. Is Web Protection or Web Control enabled in your installation? Just asking because a browser is involved. But here as well - if Sophos blocks a request or denies access during normal operation it should log an event.
