Sophos Web Intelligence Service

I have my Anti-Virus and HIPS policy set to:

Block access to malicious websites: Off

Download scanning: As on access

I still see Sophos Web Intelligence Service installed on all of my computers. What does it do? Am I forced to deploy it, even if we don't use it? Can I get rid of it?

My goal is to not bog down our network using cloud scanning, and to not bog down our PCs by running unneeded services on them. I'm also not allowed to send data to Sophos by our company policy = no cloud scanning.

Thank you for your post, the web intelligence service along with web intelligence update service is installed on every installation of Sophos Endpoint Security and Control, you can disable the Sophos LSP via policy as Jon Graham has advised or disable locally using Sophos article - http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/116970.aspx

The key is that the service will not be performing actions unless the LSP is enabled and either download or block access is set to on.

Hope this helps.
