Autoupdate status

For a few weeks now my Sophos will not update, manually or automatically.

I am getting the message:

Could not update Sophos Antivirus

Verify error: 

Can anyone help with this?

Many thanks

  • So you have 10.6+ and SAV9?

    OK...open Terminal...

    2013-11-13_19-39-32.png

    ...and run (paste) this...

    sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/com.sophos.sau/ ; /usr/bin/SophosUpdate

     ...then press enter.  It'll clear the cache and force a new download.

    If the problem continues something is interrupting/altering the downloaded files and Sophos AutoUpdate does like it - think proxy or something scanning the internet traffic.
