The default 3.02 sophie.savi worked fine for us, but when we used the 
same file with 3.04rc2 viruses in zip files were slipping through.  The 
explanation was that a bug in the processing of Grp options in 3.02 meant 
that effectively all of the settings were being ignored, but this was OK 
because this meant that we were running with a sensible set of default 
Sophos settings.  With the bug fixed in 3.04rc2 the Grp settings were 
being correctly interpreted, including the GrpSuper: 0.  GrpSuper is a 
super group of all the other groups and setting it to 0 disabled all the 
other Grp settings which preceded it!
