Updating old virus definitions - .ide files older than 3 months?

Hi,

I've been reading through other forum posts regarding standalone updates for Sophos.

/search?q= 20195

/search?q= 982

I need to update the virus definitions only - not the client.  The website only provides files from the past three months - is there any way I can download older .ide files that that?  Will updating the .ide files only cause any compatibility issues with the client?

Ideally I'd like to be able to:

- copy in .ide files

- restart SAV service

Anything I'm missing?

Thanks in advance

  • I have updated the .ide files then restarted the SAV service.  Detection Data version hasn't updated though.... 

    Restarted AutoUpdate service, restarted status reporter, restarted agent - no change to version then in any of those cases.  Is this expected?
