We have seen a small number of reports online of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition causing system slowdowns when manually scanning local drives.
We are taking these reports very seriously and are working around the clock to resolve the issue. We're sorry for this inconvenience.
To avoid the problem, you can rely on Sophos Anti-Virus automatic on-access scanning. When Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition is installed, the on-access protection feature is enabled automatically. On-access scanning is running when the Sophos shield in your title bar is black. There is no need to run a manual scan.
Sophos's on-access scanning means that every file you access is invisibly scanned, and any malware threats will be intercepted without you needing to do anything. Your Mac is fully protected against threats automatically.
Please check back to this forum for updates on this issue. Thanks!
Best regards,
spike
