    I regularly check all my external drives and, so far, I have had no problems with Sophos; not even signs of my MacBook slowing in any way. So after reading about the problems that other were having I decided to run concurrent custom scans on all the drives, including scanning archives. As I type this Sophos is quite happily scanning (yet again) my system drive (250GB), two storage drives of 500GB each, a 250GB archive drive, and a 1TB (mirrored raid) backup drive; apart from the noise of drive activity I don't even notice the scans running, and when I checked just now Sophos is using a total of 92.9mb of my 4GB system RAM - how little is that! For my mind an excellent AV application - thank-you SophosLabs. :smileyvery-happy:

    Oh, and before some cynic suggests it, I don't now or have ever worked for Sophos!
