Checksums of software downloads

Neil-J

Where can I find checksums (MD5, SHA1, etc.) for Sophos software downloads?

I've had a good look on the download pages, tried searching the knowledge base and forums for an answer and tried a general internet search but I have had no luck (and wasted too much time!).

In this particular instance I'm looking for a checksum for Anti-Virus for VMware vShield (ssvm_sfx_1_1_8.exe) and Sophos Enterprise Console (sec_522_sfx.exe) but I would expect to find them for all enterprise software downloads.

Thanks.

    A checksum provides a number of assurances to an organisation (or individual), including confirmation that the software did not get corrupted during the download and that it has not been modified or substituted in some way due to nefarious activities.

    Both of these should concern the security-conscious.
