So, right now, if you engine is older than 3.92 (which it is way older than), then you will need to get your engine updated. So, if you want to keep your virus definitions up to date with Sophos, you will need to update your engine, at least once every three months. When you update your engine, you will want to delete all of the .ide files, and get a new set of them, which matches your version number, at: http://www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/ If you require more help, LMK. Some system information (what version of glibc you're running, variant of linux, etc.) would be helpful. -- Robert Geoff Manning <[email protected]> Sent by: [email protected] 06/27/2005 12:23 PM Please respond to "Discussion about Virge/Sophie/Trophie/..."
