Sophos antivirus for Windows offers all-encompassing business grade security that brings unparalleled protection to your Windows PCs and checks all the boxes. It’s time to move from legacy antivirus solutions to next-gen antivirus that is purpose-built for combatting advanced threats. It’s not just organizations that are being targeted by cybercriminals – individuals and their home PCs are on the radar as well. Most all other tools does.The cyber threat landscape is evolving all the time and attack patterns are becoming even more sophisticated. I'm hopeful that the Sophos tool will work on VM's, just as physical machines. That's my situation & why I needed to upgrade my PC's HDD capacity for VM's recently. To the enthusiast home user, it allows one to run a wide range of VM's, actually having each for a specific purpose, like say one for household finance (paying bills & filing taxes), others for socializing and forum participation, and having others just to play with. The upgrade totally pays for itself & then some in the first year or two at the most. ![]() This is one of the benefits to large corporations to having these, is with newer workstations, one person can perform the duties of 3 to 4 on older XP ones. VM's makes an excellent testing environment to try out new software or apps that we may not want to beta test on our physical installs, in addition to making several computers out of one workstation. Now I have to research the issue that pcpunk brought up in Post #4, my plan was to test Sophos on a VM first & see how it runs, learn how to install/configure it, so on. So there's no reason why it should interfere with or otherwise affect any anti-virus applications. Sophos Anti-Virus is active and on-access scanning is ~ $ĭon't really know what on-acess scanning is yet.ĪppArmor restricts whatever applications it has an active profile for, and is not an anti-virus application. I will post this to show that on-access scanning is running: sudo / opt / sophos - av / bin / ~ $ sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savdstatus I now tried to configure the GUI with sudo / opt / sophos - av / bin / savsetup as suggested by hollowface but could not get it to work. I then went to #3 in hollowface's Tutorial( ) as he said to do, and ran: sudo ~ /sophos-av/ install. I then clicked on "Run in Terminal", that did not work either. I went to "Home" and clicked on "install.sh" and chose "Run" but that did not work. After downloading with Archive manager I noticed that there was a file in /tmp and one in /home. The install went okay even though I didn't understand most of it. I then followed hollowface's instructions to Extract it, but, my Archive Manager was/looked different than the screenshot he posted, so I just clicked Extract anyhow and it seemed to do what it should. I had the same issue as Paul88 because I was not smart enough to change the settings in my browser lol.
