Anti-Virus for Mac makes computer hang and run very slowly

Latigo

Am running Snow Leopard on an old iMac.  Since installation of AntiVirus there have been numous periods where my Mac has run very, very slowly or hung.  Checking the Activity Monitor showed Sophos absorbing most of the cycles, and when Sophos was disabled things speeded back up to normal.  How to deal with this?

    You can click the eject button next to the disk name, or press command-e when you have the disk or its main window highlighted.  Then you can throw the .dmg file (a virtual disk image file) in the trash and empty the trash.  This only removes the installer, not the installed software (assuming you've successfully run the installer on the disk image first).

    I re-installed and used the un-install. My computer still shows a file 'savosx_80_he.dmg' on it. How do I remove it, if I 'eject it' (only option) it shows as still there...
