Those scripts were never a part of Sophos (I wrote them!), they were
provided as part of the MailScanner version 3 distribution.

With the release of MailScanner 4, they have been moved to
/opt/MailScanner/lib and renamed slightly.

Take a look in /opt/MailScanner/etc. There's a file "virus.scanners.conf"
in there.
