Insufficient privileges to run sophos

Hi.

I believe im battling malware at the moment, still waiting on the x64vista forum tech's to reply to my post.

Having spent many hours doing various different cleanup techniques i discovered sophos, and have come to relise how good it is, how responsive the team here is and basically that it seems to be the industry standard.

Not long after installing i seem to have lost my privileges to run it, im on x64 vista if there is a way to reset it.

thank you

    Is this on the desktop or in the console that you no longer have privs?

    If it is the client, there are 4 sophos groups, ensure your user account is in the SophosAdministrators group to be able to configure all the settings and cleanup options in the quarantine.

    (If you have tamper protection enabled, you will need to authenticate the user before config changes are available)

    In the console, Ensure the user you have logged in with is part of the Sophos Console administrators group and Sophos Full Administrators group.

    If you have more information on the query we can provide specific solutions.

    Kind Regards - C
