The module's Quarantine manager lets administrators disinfect, delete, or deliver infected files, or send them to the Sophos labs. You can add custom text tags to the subject line of scanned, cleaned, infected, or encrypted e-mail. Sophos MailMonitor for Exchange 2000 provides both real-time and on-demand virus protection for e-mail servers. It watches for new versions on the Sophos Web site and downloads them to the Central Installation Directory. Working with SAVAdmin, the Sophos Enterprise Manager is an MMC (Microsoft Management Console) 1.2 snap-in that handles housekeeping duties for the CID. Reporting, however, is minimal: You can either view log files or copy and paste them to a text editor.

SAVAdmin lets you install or update software, force virus scans, or modify the CID. A spreadsheet view lets you quickly see software and definition-file versions and a Central Install Directory (CID) for each workgroup or domain. SAVAdmin does a good job at central monitoring and deployment, giving you a tree view of the network, a live status report of installed software, task scheduling, and remote management. A big perk is that all your employees can use Sophos Anti-Virus at home for no extra charge. Patented InterCheck technology uses pattern scanning and file checksums to recognize clean files on repeated scans, which speeds up scanning over time. Installing SAV on a server limits it to on-demand scanning-a performance decision.Ĭompared with Symantec's on-access scanner, the Sophos scanner has few configuration choices. The basic scanner for both server and desktop, Sophos Anti-Virus (SAV) configures itself automatically, and it was tied for first place on our performance degradation test.
