SophosSAVI

[Martin Hepworth]

Don

did a major update at 02.05 GMT today and it failed really nastily -
came in to 850 in the mailq and the thing hung - no updates to the virus
defs...so MS hung trying to start itself.

all cleared out in under an hour once I figured out what was wrong..

maybe Sophos went down during the night??
