A family member has a sick laptop that may have a virus infection. The Admin account is not allowed to do any 'admin' tasks and only operates as a normal user account. We have found that some folders have incorrect permissions, such as system32, that prevents software being installed and as the Admin account is compromised we can't reset those permissions. We can't install any new software and the current AV will not run - so we are concerned.
Can we set up Sophos AV to be run from a USB memory stick created on another PC? We don't want to alter the PC used to create the 'portable' AV system.
Is that possible and how do we do it, please? Clearly we want to use the free version.
Many thanks
