TomG

When will the version 1.0.0.0 tool be updated to support the 'PIF' vulnerability as well. I'd like to take care of both issues at the same time if at all possib.e

    Hi,

    The identity closes off the known ways to exploit the vulnerability. There are a lot of very smart people working on both sides and it is always possible that someone finds a new ways to use this that we (Sophos and the rest of the security community) haven't identified. Which is why you always need to keep your system patched and your AV up to date.

    To clarify my statement a bit more, someone running SAV with up to date identities doesn't need to install the tool as the same capabilities are in SAV.

    Enjoy your weekend,
