Disable loading of talpa modules

Hi,

I have sophos antivirus for linux running on fedora20 and I'm not using on-access scanning so the talpa modules apparently aren't necessary.

However, I'm now receiving frequent emails that "Unable to load Talpa modules". I'd like to disable the loading of the modules.

I'm also curious why it's unable to load, in case I do wish to do on-access scanning? I've run savupdate so I have the latest modules and virus patterns. How do I find out the current version of talpa that I have installed?

Thanks so much.

Use the EnableOnStart savconfig option to control whether on-access is started when savd starts.
/opt/sophos-av/log/talpaselect.log includes the information from trying to build Talpa, that might indicate why building it failed. The most recent attempt will be at the bottom.
You can also refer to https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/13503.aspx which lists some of the things required to build Talpa locally.
