Further to previous communication on the recently reported OpenSSL vulnerability today we have updated the SAV for vShield version 1.1 installer from version 1.1.4 to v1.1.6, and this installer is now available for download from the MySophos downloads webpage. Dependent on which version of SAV for vShield you are using the options are as follows:
Sophos AntiVirus for VMware vShield version 1.0 customers:
Please upgrade to version 1.1 which includes an uninstall and install wizard to assist with the upgrade. Please see the Sophos Anti-Virus for VMware vShield upgrade guide http://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/savvv_11_ugeng.pdf for step by step information on how to upgrade.

Either:
1. Address the vulnerability immediately by downloading and installing the new installer from the MySophos downloads webpage, OR
