i'm using sophie 1.44 on a RH9 box.
Sophie 3.04 compile perfectly but did not catch some viruses. Don't know why.
Sophie1.44 catches where Sophie3.04 doesn't. With the same libsavi. Same box. Same file. Same test conditions.

For the encryption problem when compiled without hacking it sophie doesn't consider an encrypted file as a fatal error.
See lot's of discussions in this list about blocking encrypted files or not. Sophie "naturally" doesn't as far as I know.
