I doubt many home users here use Sophos but any corporate users are undoubtably having problems.

Sophos released an update last night which has gone mad and Sophos now thinks EVERYTHING is a virus, including itself!! It has deleted programs from machines, sound drivers, even network drivers!!

60% of our customers use Sophos so I've been having lots of fun with it this morning. :grumpy:
 
Just came across this
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/20/sophos_auto_immune_update_chaos/

"A fix was quickly released from Sophos but the auto-update program was quarantined and wasn't allowed to run. For a home user, a quick disabling of on-access scan, update, re-enable on-access scan and remove any items marked with the Shh/Updater-B virus from quarantine fixed the issue,"
 
Don't AV company's test their bloody updates before making them public?

I remember dealing with that AVG crap what happened a while back.
