Using Sophos with Rapport

Rick1

Does anyone know if there might be a conflict between Sophos and the NatWest internet banking protection software "Rapport" ?

I currently run both on my iMac and there doesn't appear to be a problem, but I am told you shouldn't have more than one anti-virus software installed?

    The issue is regarding on-access protection, as two anti-virus packages may interfere with each other's ability to function (by attempting to lock a file locked by the other, deleting something the other is locking, creating privelege race conditions, viewing activity caused by the other as suspicious, etc.).  As far as I know, NatWest protection does not include on-access scanning, but instead looks at the security of your network connection, and should be OK.  It may have issues with Little Snitch or NoScript, but if you're not having problems currently with your setup, you are likely fine.
