Is Sophos so resource hungry that disk drive gets pushed to 100% usage?

M3dHutchinson

I have a user that finds that her Hard Drive gets pushed to 100% for long periods at a time several times a week.

When this happens her computer's performance slows to a crawl and she cannot comfortably work. When it happens she hears her hard drive running.

I understand our security manager has Sophos scheduled to scan twice a week... Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00 pm. However this user shut here computer down nightly.

Does Sophos Scan run the next time it is up?

Is it common to max the drive to 100% utilization?... or might there be something else to blame?

    Hi  

    It should not do the scan once the time has been passed as Scheduled scan is just task scheduler defined on the machines.

    I'd suggest you check the resource monitor when the disk utilization is more than 100%. Note the process which is taking disk utilization to 100%.
