VShieldUpdate using all of my CPU power

jjtiziou

I recently downloaded the mac antivirus, running on a macbookpro with osX 10.7.2, and now a process called VShieldUpdate is gobbling up about 100% of my processor power all of the time.... Any thoughts on why this is and how to get rid of it?

    Andrew- thank you for your reply- and it would make sense except for the fact that I have never installed VMWare Fusion, and never seen it in my activity monitor until after installing SAV. Unless I've already got something nasty on my computer that is masquerading as VShieldUpdate...

    VShieldUpdate is a component of VMWare Fusion, part of the VShield security solution.  If you search Google for vShieldUpdate, you'll discover that this isn't a Sophos issue, it's a VMWare/OS X issue.  Of course, since VShield is a security product, it is definitely possible that it isn't playing nicely with SAV.
