Hi there,
Has anyone come across this issue and is there a fix for it? Handles utilised is visible in windows task manager, and there is an upper limit on the number of handles Windows can manage at a time.

QUOTING:
We are experiencing some resource issues with some of our servers and have noticed that the ALSVC.EXE process is taking a large number of handles over time and not releasing them without restarting the Sophos Autoupdate service.
On initial startup the process is quite moderate in its usage of handles, using a few hundred at most. We have seen this climb to between 13000 and 40000 on some of our servers. These are quite heavily loaded x86 Windows 2003 servers and are the most likely to show resource usage trouble where it exists. The version used is 7.6.18.
