Out dated "Engine version"

Question

Dear All, 
 
 I've an issue with Engine version and its not up to date. Would anyone please assist the quick action to check for 1000s of machines and update accordingly with current version from Sophos. 
 
 Sophos Anti-Virus is installed on the remote host : Installation path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus Product version : 10.8.2.334 Engine version : 3.73.0.2420 (This is out-dated and how can I update this since its all by system.) 
 The engine version is out-of-date. The oldest supported version from the vendor is 3.74.1. Virus signatures last updated : 2018/11/11 Virus signatures last updated : 2018/11/11 As a result, the remote host might be infected by viruses. 
 
 Thanks in well Adv.

Hello ISSA_SESC , 
 I can't find instructions on how to update the Engine version to 3.74.1 maybe my post isn't as clear as I thought it is - I've left out the conclusion as I assumed it's obvious. There are no instructions because you can't update the engine because it is not (yet) out. Nessus incorrectly assumes the article lists actual definite deployment dates. Furthermore - I didn't mention this in my previous post - the "announcement" (that isn't one) of 3.74.1 for November is for the Preview version. For Recommended the estimate is Jan 2019.

Answer: Update your Nessus Plugin Database. 
 I opened a ticket with Nessus and they fixed the Engine Version to the current Sophos version; the plugin is fixed. If your plugins are not automatically updating, then they will have missed the fix and you will still be seeing those "vulnerabilities". 
 Just update your Nessus plugins. 
 QC is correct. It is not a Sophos issue, it was a Nessus issue.

Dear Faisal; 
 
 If you are desperate to have 3.74, simple change your subscription from "Recommended" to "Preview". This way you will always be the first to receive updates.
