7) In the next dialogue box you will need to enter a user name. This should be your user name on the computer you are installing Sophos on (possibly different from your Oneonta user name). Enter the password for this user in the two password boxes and click Next.

9) In the dialogue box that comes up you need to edit the contents of the Run text box. If your computer runs Windows 95/98/Me then you need to add sav95 at the end of the line after the quotes.

Remote update will now update Sophos Anti-Virus according to the schedule you chose. For Remote Update to work properly your computer must be connected to the internet when it runs.
