Thanks for the reply, in the exim configure i not add the parameter "scanner = 
sophie".

Correct; the default value (when av_scaner is unset) is:

        av_scanner = sophie:/var/run/sophie

I hadn't remembered this so went to look at sophie.
spec.txt 44.1 says:

    Sophie is a daemon that uses Sophos' libsavi library to scan for
    viruses.  You can get Sophie at http://www.clanfield.info/sophie/. The
    only option for this scanner type is the path to the UNIX socket that
    Sophie uses for client communication. ...

But http://www.clanfield.info/sophie gives
    Clanfield
    Best Plantar Fasciitis Solutions
    Oops! That page can’t be found.

http://sophie.sourceforge.net/ was last updated June 2005;
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sophie/ was updated more recently
- 2013-04-11 - but still over five years ago, and I can't find a download
on either site.

Can anyone suggest a better link to replace
  http://www.clanfield.info/sophie
which now appears to be a site for medical appliances.

Is it reasonable to keep Sophie as the malware program
in the default exim config, when it appears to be inactive ?
