Sophos on a Rollercoaster

It appears that Sophos pushed out an update that has caused it to see software updaters (including its own) as malware infections.  This could be a wild ride – as thousands of computers world-wide are popping up warnings that they are infected and sending users into a panic. Network administrators are busy answering phones and trying to calm down users, while not able to get a line IN to Sophos, as all their lines are swamped.
