Excessive CPU Memory from Intercheck ? Anything to stop this ?

I have installed Sophos Anti-Virus version 7.2.3.2000C on my MacBook 13 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo running Mac OS version10.6.6.

Since the installation, I have noticed that in Activity Monitor app, "Intercheck" has been having high memory going up 300 MB in Real Memory and 350-400 MB in Virtual Memory.

I have also turned Off On-Access scanner to see if "Intercheck" will leave or reduce in Real Memory and/or Virtual Memory but "Intercheck" still appears in Activity Monitor.

I have read several posts on the board but found no solution to end this problem. I have some posts as well in http://http://openforum.sophos.com/t5/Sophos-Anti-Virus-for-Mac-Home/Excessive-CPU-and-Disk-from-Intercheck/m-p/1231 but nothing came out of it.

Does anyone have any solution to fix this or end ""Intercheck" ? Do I really have to uninstall the program and find some other app ?

Thanks in advance for your help,

SAV really does seem to slow down the launching of applications and the copying of files. When copying large files (a few hundred megabytes) the InterCheck process seems to delay the start of the copy operation for several seconds.
