Virus/spyware 'Shh/Updater-B' has been detected in "C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\Web Intelligence\swi_update.exe". Cleanup unavailable. This is trickling in as alerts but at an alarming rate.

    Yes, I'm getting the same Shh/Updater-B virus/spyware alerts and it has quarantined all 4 of these items:

    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\Web Intelligence\swi_update_64.exe
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\SingleGUIPlugin.dll
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\inetconn.dll
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\ALsvc.exe

    If it isn't a hypersensitivity issue, then perhaps something has managed to tweak Sophos to cause it to disable it's own updating capability, in preparation for a more extensive attack.
