Mac slows down at Start Up after installation of Sophos Antivirus

drLou

:smileyvery-happy:

Noticed a definite slow down in Start Up of my MAC after installation of Sophos Antivirus.  Is a startup slowdown time to be expected after installation of Sophos antivirus?  Or, should I uninstall then re-install Sophos software.  Any suggestions or recommendations for a possible fix?  Thanks.  drlou

    Hello drLou,

    as files are scanned when they are accessed and scanning naturally has some impact a slowdown is to be expected. While it is noticeable it should not be unbearable. Of course it depends on which programs run at startup and the preferences for on-access - did you modify them?. 

    Are you talking about the Home Edition? If so, please note that there's a dedicated forum, SophosFreeTalk.
