High CPU Usage - Intercheck

Hi,

I upgraded to Sophos for Mac Home 8.0.2.C. When backup with Time machine, openning Lotus Symphony or installing new software (as Office 2011), Intercheck uses high CPU (more than 100%). I have a C2D 2.4/4GB with OS X Lion.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

  • I recently installed Sophos 8.0.4C on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and then, a few days later, upgraded libra office (only mentioning this because i've seen posts linking the high usage to an install).   I've noticed frequent horrible performance for a few days and just noticed that the intel Intercheck process is at 99% cpu.  [ five minutes later it's back to <1%.   Dunno what's going on; however, during this bad performance I haven't seen any other processes hogging cpu or memory, so my best guess is that it's related to intercheck.   [BTW, i have no network drives attached.  Also btw, I haven't tried killing the intercheck process yet, as I've seen mentioned i other posts.]
