Sophos Web Content Scanner Query

isoffice

Hi folks,

We are using Enterprise Console (Version 4.5.1.0) to distribute Sophos Endpoint Security and Control (Version 9.5) and we wish to disable the Sophos Web Content Scanner Add-On as a result of some issues encountered by our users.

I have seen some previous posts in relation to this but none of them seem to be applicable (e.g. filename savconf.xml is mentioned quite a bit....but where is it??).

Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi,

    One way to control this you might like to try would be:  For a given OU (I hope you have AD :) ) create a new group policy setting.  Then under the "Computer Configuration" settings:

    Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Security Features -> Add-on Management


    In the "Add-on LIst" settings you can enable this and enter the GUID of the Sophos BHO:

    {39EA7695-B3F2-4C44-A4BC-297ADA8FD235}

    and set the Value to 0.

    A 0 will disable the BHO for all users on the computers, 1 would enable it for all users, 2 I think would enable the state to be controlled locally in IE.  So 0 should be what you're after.


    I hope this is something to try.  This should be easy to manage if you have AD :)
