Sophos Web Intelligence Bundle and Little Snitch

brvx

Just installed SAV on Mountain Lion. Now, for any site I visit I get an alert from LS asking whether to allow or not. Very annoying. Don't think this was hapening with SAV in Snow Leopard.

OK, created permanent rules to allow WIB to connect to any server, Port 80/443, Protocol 6 (TCP). End of annoying pop-ups, but is that safe to allow? I suppose it is, since many SAV users don't have LS.

    I may have answered my own question above. But I do have a follow-up. I would like to know against what database the Sophos WIB checks the URLs one visits? I hope it isn't Google Safe Browsing. If it is, I've found that to be mostly lame and useless, and the small, but noticable slowdowns involved in site loading as a site gets checked wouldn't be worth it.

    Can someone please tell me what it is?
