Sophos auto updates - schedule a specific time?

Is it possible to schedule a specific time of day when Sophos downloads its regular updates?

I'm finding that my system slows down considerably when the auto update starts. I see in the preferences I can change how often the updates happen (every day, etc.), but is there a way to schedule the time of day when those auto updates happen?

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Christian. 

    It seems to slow down every time it updates, and slows down a great deal (when the icon has the animated arrow going). Is there a way to tell how many updates have to be downloaded? I've changed the interval to every three days, just so I can get some work done first thing in the morning when the updates would normally happen.

    So when I change the interval from 1 day to 3, the computer will do the update at the time when I've changed things? That's good to know -- that will help with things a little bit.

    Thanks. :)
