What are the default scan settings for detecting and cleaning a virus?
By default, Sophos AV for remote users will detect a virus and prevent that file from being accessed until the user defines the action setting to clean or delete the file. Sophos AV is not set the same as a computer that is associated to the ACU campus network domain (employee computers). Computers that are part of the campus network domain are centrally managed and are set to automatically clean/delete any incoming viruses automatically.The Sophos AV for the remote user has more flexibility in setting the action preferences when a virus is detected. The same settings that are mandated for campus computers are not mandated to the remote user s computer. The default action setting is set to detect the virus and restrict access to the infected file (form of quarantine). Darrell Fauvel is finishing exact instructions for enabling the automatic deletion of detected viruses. These instructions will soon be posted onto the web.
