Major issues with Lion

AMCarter3

Ever since I upgraded to Lion, I've been having serious slow-downs and freezes on my new Macbook Pro. At first, I thought the issues were hardware related, but after 3 weeks of good days and bad days, I finally removed Sophos Antivirus from my computer. Interestingly, I have had no issues since.

    Andrew,

    Since removing Sophos Antivirus from my computer, I have had no issues. I honestly do not know for sure if Sophos was the source the issues. All I know is my laptop is functioning well now without Sophos on it. 

    So, I am struggling with this... I would like to have your antivirus protection on my computer, but obviously not if it conflicts with the OS and causes slow-downs and freezes. I would like to know what steps you take to verify that your software does NOT conflict with OS X and does NOT cause excessive CPU consumption. What is your level of confidence that your Antivirus software does NOT cause issues with OS X?
