If you do not upgrade your virus scanner (regardless of 
make/model/color) in 6 months, it IS NOT working! Sophos actually has 
the right idea here, IMHO, by *forcing* the admin to keep it up to date. 
I believe it is 3 months, BTW. We pay every three years, and it's 
(again, IMHO) worth every penny. Our offices have been virus free for 4+ 
years now - between MD/SA/Sophos, and Sophos on the Desktops/File Servers.
