Puremessage for Exchange - lots of viruses being missed lately

Arq

Hi

We have Puremessage 3.1.3 for Exchange 2010 and we have noticed in the last few weeks that quite a lot of messages with obviously infected attachments are being missed by puremessage.  Either they are arriving in mailboxes or just being quarantined as suspicious.  Has anyone elase noticed this?  I am wondering if we have something wrong with our puremesssage or it's just that Sophos can't keep up with the definitions.  I have contacted support but as yet have not got a satisfactory response from them.  I'm interested to hear if others have noticed the same.

Thanks.

    We have similar but specifically around attachments with the .zip.txt malware.  Constant bombarding from different sites but PureMessage rarely drops them. We have a specific rule to drop them and then add then the sender into the filter list if we can find out what the sender is as the console doesn't log the sender, only the message. We have sent numerous examles to sophoslabs but this has been going on for months.  It is surprising this type of malware isn't being classed as spam by now in general.
