Re: Sophos query

[Robert Spellman <rspell () BATES EDU>]

Sophos used to keep this information up to date at:

http://downloads.sophos.com/downloads/ide/

but it looks to be a bit out of date, as it states that 5.18 is the latest
threat database, with 792 IDEs.

Looking at our systems, I see:

Macintosh 9.2.8, threat data 5.22 with 153 IDEs.
Windows 10.3, threat data 5.22 with 153 IDEs.
