The update from ver 7.1 to 7.3 was quick and silent, and this on a laptop with 1gig of RAM. Love Sophos.

 

Integrated? Can't you opt against installing the firewall

 

its an optional componant that is unticked as default.
its right at the end of the installation.
with defaults only the AV is installed.

 

Thank you, Lodore

 

OK Chubb, i thought you had it installed already.
I think i'll give it a run later (v.8 )
Thanks

 

btw it works as well as the last version.
tested it a few hours ago.
grea app

 

Good to know, Lodore
Also, they've improved their detection rates

 

FYI, the AntiVirus version in Endpoint Security and Control 8.0 is 7.3.0, the Firewall is 1.5.3 and the Enterprise Console is 3.1. I think they didn't align the version numbers to 8.0. 8.0 simply means a new version of Endpoint Security and Control as a whole. AFAIK, AntiVirus 7.5.0 will be released in June 08.

 

I see.
Thanks for the clarification

 

update well done to 7.3. But have you got the firewall Or it's only for corporate licenses?'

 

I haven't tried it yet but you should be able to select what modules to install by choosing the custom installation, according to Lodore above.
What package you installed?

 

i surgest you login to the sophos website with your username and password and download the lastest installer which installs the firewall as an optional componant during the install.

 

i've uploated from 7.1 version. but the firewall, for me, is only for corporate users, for small business is only av

 

If you update through auto-update from 7.1.1, you will get only the updated AV 7.3.0

If you install from scratch, you will have a new installer with an option to install the firewall.

 

ok. I'll try. thx a lot
