Protect Windows computers automatically
You can use Sophos Enterprise Console to protect Windows computers automatically, see knowledge base article 114191.
You can also use your own tools or scripts for installing protection on Windows computers.
Note When you install Sophos Client Firewall, all network adapters are temporarily
disconnected. This results in network connections being unavailable for up to 20 seconds and the
disconnection of networked applications such as Microsoft Remote Desktop.
To protect computers:
The computers that you have selected are protected with security software. Installation is staggered, so that the process may not be complete on all the computers for some time. Some computers might need to be restarted to complete the installation.
When installation is complete, look at the list of computers again. In the On-access column, the word Active indicates that the computer is scanning for threats on access.
