8.0.3 released today

bobcook

Hi everyone,

We released version 8.0.3 today, all machines running 8.0.x should update automatically at some point (might take a few hours to reach your machine). In addition to the normal detection improvements we fixed the AutoUpdate crash that plagued G3 users, improved the behavior for "stuck scans" some people have seen in the GUI, and also includes general stability improvements.

We are still on track to release 8.0.4 with fixes for the reports of kernel panics at the end of May.

    Hello Mike,

    does this lengthy process of the updates reaching the more remote regions apply to definition updates

    it shouldn't (for the reason you gave). You can make sure by comparing the number of (IDE) files in /Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/IDE/ to the number here (you get the applicable threat data version - e.g. 4.77 - from About Sophos Anti-Virus).

    Edit: Live Protection uses a different mechanism. It's very dynamic (hence the Live in its name :smileywink:) so there are no "list of latest updates" or "date of latest update". You can verify that you can access the network and that it responds though by entering host -t TXT test.00.s.sophosxl.net in a Terminal window. It should respond with test.00.s.sophosxl.net descriptive text "WORKING".
