Spam and Virus Blocker EOL

[Scott Hanson]

    Can anyone confirm that come December 31, 2015 the SPAM and VIRUS Blocker will become a brick with no more updates and no ability to to filter SPAM and Viruses?

    Very troubling if true.  Money spent on a hardware platform just to have it go EOL a couple of years later.

Which model appliance do you have?  If you have a "Blocker" which is the small business platform - EOL is listed actually 12/2011.

If you have a C-series, or larger... EOL information for hardware is based here:

EOL information for AsyncOS revisions specific is based here:
