Hello Richard,

Thanks for your proposition but when I upgraded I checked all the entry from sophie.savi to reflect the compilation options of sophie1.44.
And sure fullsweep was set to 1.

[root@twin1 etc]# cat  sophie.savi |grep -v '^#' | tr -s '\n'
GrpExecutable: 1
GrpArchiveUnpack: 1
GrpSelfExtract: 1
GrpInternet: 1
GrpMSOffice: 1
GrpMisc: 1
GrpSuper: 0
GrpDisinfect: 0
FullSweep: 1
DynamicDecompression: 1

As far as I'm not a guru in sophie options I can have made a mistake.

I'm not sure that sophos is in fault because sweep and sophie 1.44 catched the virus using the same test directory.
Actually this directory was a mail passed through reformime. We are using Q-S.

We changed our linux box recently (was RH8 -> Fed3). So I retry to use sophie 3.04. And so far have no problem.

I made a RPM for Fed3 of sophie tuned for Q-S if someone need it...

Regards,

Patrice Blot
