To their credit, Sophos had a fix out within hours and were very forthright about the error. I'd like to think that was a one-off.
So, yeah, that was a pain. Still like the product, though.

They quickly fixed the issue, but with us, it not only hit campus, but VPN off campus users around Australia that we supported.
Plus, with all the red tape with change management at uni, took a while to push out a fix.
Any time one of our machines was infected with anything, we used malwarebytes as a first type fix.
I don't doubt it's a great product and all...
But not my cup of tea!!
