Avira AV and Sophos AV not updating anymore?

Johan,

it is "normal". Sometimes AV engines are not updating even from 3/4 days. See tomorrow if the signature is updated.

I even opened a feature request. For me it should be a basic behavior.

Thanks.

Thank you for your quick reply!

Mmmmm, I see the same update frequency on my Cyberoam UTM, never noticed it before.

On the other hand, my Avira endpoint protection software updates its definition several times a day. So why not follow that frequency, especially since the Sophos XG is the first line of defense?

I'll vote for your request ;-)

Johan,

in a Next Generation Firewall a packet is checked once against all the possible Engines. The AV we are using is simple and do not have to communicate with other engines while on a NGFW the process is more complicated. XG is still a young product and I really hope the next release will improve even updates frequency. I agree with you that does not make sense a first line of defense updates not everyday.

Thanks you for your vote!
