Sophos will not update to newer virus data definitions, even though update reports as successful

Strange Problem.  One certain laptops, the auto-update procedure is ineffective as it actually will not update the virus definitions to a new version.  I have a laptop that cant update from detection data 5.04G to the current 5.08 version.  Can successfully run updates without error, but no newer version is ever downloaded.  Now I have windows action center notifying that Sophos is out of date.  But no update will fix it.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that does not change the problem.  Anybody know what is going on?  Can anyone suggest a fix?  Running version 10.3.1, 3.53 detection engine.  Virus date stuck at 7/29/2014 - nearly 4 months old.

  • Hello rooney1,

    this sounds like the (outdated) installer points to a stale CID, i.e. one that is no longer updated. AutoUpdate can still successfully download therefore it reports success but actually there is no new data. The help desk together with the Sophos administrator hould be able to sort this out.
