2. Update the Sophos Anti-Virus resource file on the Enterprise Console computer.

  1. Close Enterprise Console.
  2. From a client running Sophos Anti-Virus 7.5 and above take a copy of SAVRes.dll. By default this is in: C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus.
  3. At the computer running Enterprise Console, locate the original file SAVRes.dll (which by default is installed in: C:\Program Files\Sophos\Enterprise Console\SavProviders\XP\) and rename it to savres.dll.orig
  4. Copy the newer SAVRes.dll file taken from step 1 into the location in step 2 as SAVRes.dll.
  5. Re-launch Enterprise Console.

3. Upgrade to Sophos Enterprise Console, version 3.1 when available.
