Interactive help added to Sophos Anti-Virus CD.
Installing and updating Sophos Anti-Virus is now even simpler.
The CD-ROM on which the software is now being delivered includes a
unique interactive expert help system allowing customers to tailor
their configuration options and maximise the efficiency of the
software.
The new function is targeted at network managers of both large
and small organisations. The user-friendly interface, which remains
visible throughout a task, offers a step-by-step guide to
installing Sophos Anti-Virus on a single PC or file server, or on
all machines on a network. More complex issues, such as
cross-platform deployment of the software are also covered, and
German and Japanese versions are also available.
A single central installation from the Sophos Anti-Virus CD is
all that is needed to automate updates of servers and clients
across the network, which removes the time-consuming process of
manually updating the software. This allows administrators to
concentrate on the more important issues of virus protection.
Diskette images on the CD allow users to create unlimited floppy
disk versions of the software quickly and easily, while the
inclusion of a range of management tools, documentation and a link
to the Sophos website further enhance the support given to Sophos
clients.
"We wanted to create a fast, easy to use, performance-driven
solution which will allow our customers to get maximum benefit from
their software" said Petra Merne, marketing manager at Sophos.
The new On-Screen Consultancy is available free with Sophos
Anti-Virus v3.07.
