I've installed and run the Sophos free a.v. for the Mac for several weeks, and the machine has become increasingly sluggish. I finally checked memory use and the a.v. program had glommed more than 1 gig of physical RAM -- it's a Mac mini with 2 gigs installed -- and much more of the virtual memory.
I've had to stop the on-line scanning, but I wondered:
-- has anyone experienced this?
-- is there anything I can do about it?
I ought to note that I'm in the habit of leaving my machines on, as I use them for my home business, and they are rarely restarted.
