FIPFS Event ID 6032 since December 2018

I just noticed that my server hasn't successfully updated its Filtering Engine since December 26th 2018.  I get an event log error of the following: 

 

MS Filtering Engine Update process was unsuccessful in contacting the Primary Update Path. Update Path: http://forefrontdl.microsoft.com/server/scanengineupdate

 

Going to the path results in a 404 error.

 

Have malware engine updates been abandoned for Exchange on-prem?    The latest Docs for Exchange 2019 still mentions it and says nothing about it being deprecated (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/antispam-and-antimalware/antimalware-protection/download-antimalware-updates?view=exchserver-2019)

 

Would appreciate some clarification.  Thanks.

      Thanks for confirming it works, I did a deep dive into my firewall and found the problem was with a false positive IPS detection.  After correcting that, the filtering engine successfully updated and has been successfully checking/updating every 30 minutes.  Thanks!

      I can download the file you linked fine though.
