Hello All,

I have been running the free sopshos-av on my VPS for quite sometime. 
The page where you used to be able to download it also offline.

Tue 06 Oct 2020 06:50:06 PM CEST: update.updated Updated to versions - 
SAV: 9.16.2, Engine: 3.79.0, Data: 5.78
Tue 06 Oct 2020 06:50:06 PM CEST: update.updated Successfully updated 
Sophos Anti-Virus from sdds:SOPHOS

Seems like the virus definitions haven't been updated in a long time.

I looked at some alternatives in virus.scanners.conf but none of them 
really seem as that great when I go to check them out.
Does anybody know if sophos discontinued this free virus-scanner? If so 
what are good alternatives besides clamav?

Maarten
