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.

    Can I turn it off and still keep the computer virus protection?

    Disabling Web Protection doesn't affect the local disk scanning protection.  From the manual...

    Web Protection can be configured to block access to malicious websites, scan downloads to help protect against malicious content, or both. To configure Web Protection:

    1. Choose Sophos Anti-Virus ➤ Preferences
    2. Select Web Protection
    3. Click General on the Web Protection panel
    4. If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password\
    5. Move the upper toggle switch to On to protect your Mac from sites that Sophos has identified to be hosting malicious content. 
    6. Move the lower toggle switch to On to block malicious downloads before they reach your browser. This will perform an additional check by passing downloads through the content scanning engine.

    To switch it off change the two 'On' values to 'Off'.
