Improving Performance with On-access exclusions

JHoots

I am in the process of evaluating Sophos as an anti-virus solution for our customers and my main issue is one of peformance.

I have a test web application which, with AV on-access scanning off, takes about 7 seconds to run.  When it's on, it takes about 22 seconds.

I decided to find out what was being scanned that took all the time.  To cut a long story short, I excluded everything from the on access scan - all drives, memory, adware etc and it made no difference.

What is Sophos scanning that I can't exclude?

    Hi Jak,

    Yes, that's one of two things I have found that help.  The other is to switch off the "block access to malicious websites" feature.  The application makes lots of round trips to the web server and each time the web server address appears to be validated if this feature is switched on.
