Well, this doesn't paint a pretty picture at all:

SWEEP virus detection utility
Version 3.75A, November 2003 [Linux/Intel]
Includes detection for 88006 viruses, trojans and worms
Copyright (c) 1989,2003 Sophos Plc, www.sophos.com

System time 12:29:00 PM, System date 27 June 2005
Command line qualifiers are: -h

Useful life of SWEEP has been exceeded

IDE directory is: /usr/local/sav

<snip>

File mydoom-w.ide is older than 90 days

<snip several more with older than 90 days>

File bagle-am.ide not loaded (incompatible version number)

<snip several more with incompatible version number>


I guess this version is out of date? And perhaps it didn't cause a problem
until I restarted the service and it realized it was out of date?
