Sophos kext causing a kernel panic

Userblablahblah
Hi, I've been having problems lately and wasn't able to diagnose why on earth my computer was running so darn slow until my mac told me that a kernel panic caused the system to need a restart. I would love to show you more information, but my computer (where I have the report information) is working through another kernel panic and is most definitely frozen. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Should I just remove the software from my machine?

Thank you for any help.

    This is not common, but there is a thread on here reporting a few people getting repeated kernel panics using 8.0.5 on Mountain Lion.  Your first step should probably be to (at least temporarily) disable on-access scanning.

    Do you happen to know if the panics correspond with anything else you are doing, such as a Time Machine backup or running a VMWare session?
