| 1302273 | 2012-09-19 23:12:00 | Sophos must have had a bad day. They bring out an update, (For Sophos endpoint protection - an AV program), and it detects anything with the word update in it, as a virus / threat. And it quarantines it's own updater folder lol. Another AV program to avoid, if you're part of a business Info about it here (www.neowin.net) And the forum with the not so happy users here (community.sophos.com) |

| 1302275 | 2012-09-19 23:43:00 | OOPS !!:D Eset did something similar a while back but they had the fix out within 10 minutes of it happening. Mind you if Sophos has killed its own updater, then forcing out patches could be close to impossible, unless they have some sort of "backdoor" way to do it. Will be "interesting" to see how they get around that ;) |

| 1302282 | 2012-09-20 03:49:00 | Slightly better screwup than the other AV maker who trashed Windows with their update :D yeah, but look at it this way, at least they couldn't get on the internet and get any viruses, so its the ultimate protection :lol: | wainuitech (129) | ||
