Sophos is killing my CPU!!!! What is with this software??

carrspaints

S'truth, I am at my wits end with this software - Sophos Endpoint Security. My company have this installed on all of our systems, including my laptop.I often find my laptop completely unuseable because this software is sucking my CPU dry. I have opened up Sophos to see i9f I can either suspend, change date/time of any virus scans, or simply to delete this. I cannot find any options available.

When this thing starts operating, a number f processes start up that literally choke my laptop for hours on en. One of the processes is something called SatServe but there are others bthat seem to be connected to this software.

Can annyone help me with this please, I am absolutely fed up with this software - it is supposed to prevent viruses but instead acts like one. Terrible software.

    Hello carrspaints,

    you aren't on good terms with your IT, are you? This is where you should take your complaints as support for end-users is only through the customer's IT staff.
    I can understand your irritation but as "your company" obviously exerts some control over their devices the settings of "this software" are very likely centrally managed. That you can't stop or reschedule a scan means that you probably don't have the necessary permissions. Did I say already you should contact your company's IT?
