Slow browsing after upgrade to Mavericks and SAV for Mac version 9

LKJ

I have a problem. I have SAV 8.0.3c installed on an iMac running OSX 10.7.5, on access protection is enabled and web pages load virtually instantly. I have SAV 9.0.8 installed on an iMac running 10.9.2 and web pages are significantly slowed with on acess enabled. They are slowed to the point I thought something was wrong with my ISP. I still had 8.0.3c installed when I upgraded to Mavericks and eventually updated SAV to 9.0.8. Could there be some residual file left over from 8.0.3c that is slowing things down or is 9.0.8 just slow on Mavericks? I've tried with three different browsers.

TIA

Louis

    Sorry I took so long to reply. I never received a notice someone replied to my post. I thought I had checked "Email me..." but I guess I hadn't. I have uninstalled 9.0.8 but I am going to reinstall it and try your suggestions although having to turn off various protections seems to defeat the purpose. After running "Remove Sophos" from Spotlight I checked for files containing "Sophos". I found 36 which were .bom and .plist files I believe.

    As far as which URLs any and all seem to slow, but sites like MacUpdate, Softpedia, even the Google home page. I've tried Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I think the slowdown seems much more apparent because I am on a 75mbs connection so without any protection pages load virtually instantly. With protection pages can take 5 secs or more to load.

    I am going to reinstall and see what happens.

    edit: I just did a clean install of 9.0.8 and the slowing of pages seems to have gone away. I suspect the 36 files I found may have been the culprit.
