Sophos AV for linux not updating anymore?

Hi guys.

I've been running free Sophos AV for linux on two different Ubuntu 16.04LTS machines. Both of them have this same issue.

When I run savscan, it shows me Virus data version 5.34, November 2016. My problem is that today is December 18, so it seems my virus data is several weeks old.

When I run savupdate it shows Successfully updated Sophos Anti-Virus from sdds:SOPHOS. However the virus data is still 5.34 from november.

Has my AV stopped updating or is there something about this that I don't understand?

Hi,

That version is the VDB (virsu data); v5.34 was released on Tuesday 6th December.

VDB updates are issued monthly and work with IDE files (serveral released daily) for detections; see https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/10350
