    Solution for our 25 licenses: uninstall Sophos from everything and install 30-day Vipre Business trial. Our Sophos license was expiring soon and there's no way we're renewing after this.

    BTW, apparently due to today's issue, I can't even properly uninstall SOPHOS from the clients. AutoUpdate and Antivirus both refuse to be removed saying other installations are in progress. I am having to run the Microsoft Fixit Uinstall Tool just to get rid of them. So it's taking me like 20 minutes at each workstation to uninstall Sophos.

    At least we don't have 250 or 2,500 licenses...phew!
