Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac V7.3.1 is compatible with Mac OS X Lion

spiderman

Apple just launched their latest operating system OS X 10.7 (Lion) today and we wanted to let you know that your version of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac already supports it.


In anticipation of the Lion launch, we released an update at the end of June that automatically upgraded SAV for Mac to v7.3.1. This version is compatible with OS X Lion so whenever you upgrade to Lion, you’’’’ll be fully protected.


If you are a home user and don’’’’t have Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac already installed, or have not been upgraded to v7.3.1, you can download the latest version for free here: http://www.sophos.com/freemacav

    If On-Access scanner is running it causes networked Time Machine to hang after a few hundred megabytes. The moment you turn off On-Access scanning the performance returns to normal and the entire OS seems a tiny bit less slugish. I think something is hanging.

    Yes this is the problem. Intercheck is keeping Time Machine from back up. So TM and the intercheck app. fight for the prosessor. But because TM can not go on, while Intercheck keeps blocking TM. In between we see spotlight going nuts to index the machine, also using a lot of the prosessor.

    A solution could be to switch Sophos off. But since this process causes the prosessor to overheat, and since you never know if it will not happen again sometime after you used your computer independent from TIme Mchine for a while, like I do on my MacBook Pro, the best thing is do delete the Sophos Anti-Virus. How bad I feel about that because it seemed to be so simple and neat.

    I am now back on Intego for which I still have left a few months to use.
