Automatic upgrade to v10??

Jezza

We are using Sophos Enterprise Console 4.7.0.13 and v9.5 for the endpoints.

On Friday just after 7pm, the entire group of endpoints in the v9.5 bucket were upgraded to 10.06 VDL4.79G.  Every one of them now has a warning as they all need to be rebooted.

We don't keep v10 updates on our Enterprise Console.  I'm trying to sort out what would trigger them all to update seemingly of their own accord? 

Ideas?

Thanks

    Unbelievable.  I called Sophos support  and they said it was straightforward "just change the updates to 9.5 Extended Maintenance and it will automatically revert back".  That didn't work at all.

    We made a call to leave them (400 servers) on v10 in the end but this has made us now look seriously at an anti-virus company which forces you to go to a new version, has the ability to force you to a new version (back door???), and never communicates the automatic upgrade to you (who does that?).

    It's like waking up one morning and your Windows XP machine is upgraded to Windows 7.

    At any rate, we've rebooted about 20 or so servers without issue so here's hoping the others follow suit.
