    Click on the path and download the java-jb.ide extract the zip file and copy into the sophos\Sophos ANti-Virus folder of where the EC is located.   http://www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/

    Once you have the EC updated then you can push it to all the others through the EC.

    Hope this helps!


    Please note that is technically not a supported method for updating an IDE. In this case it works, just be mindful of the engine version downloaded as they are not cross compatible. E.g., you may see an issue if you are running VDL4.87 and download IDEs for VDL4.86, etc.

    I would suggest following the processes outlined in the advisory to restore updating though, as there is less risk involved in the methods outlined there.
