Sophos Breaks IE shortcuts opens print box

[round2it]

Has anyone had issues with Sophos Antivirus breaking IE Shortcuts

 

When a user double clicks on a IE Shortcut The print dialogue box comes up(helpful)

 

The problem lies with Hips blocking

 

After removing a registry key all goes back to normal(if you keed the key just ask)

unfortunately when sophos updates the reg key is replaced (even more helpful)

is anyone else having this issue.

 

I know one other school is but i would like to know how widespread this issue is.

 

Sophos have had this issue sent to"Global Support" but they have not got back to us yet.

 

Thanks

Is it definitely sophos? Try this:

 

Double-clicking an Internet Shortcut launches the Print dialog rather than opening the Webpage

Tried that fix while doing diags on this problem

 

Found that when sophos services were stopped the problem went away.

 

Thanks for the reply.

old version of psapi.dll in the windows folder was causing the problem

 

rename it to psapi.old and everything is fine
