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,

    I'm thinking of Uninstalling Sophos Home Edition as perhaps the  best course of action

    I beg to differ. As Macs are becoming a target and the additional resources used by the scanner shouldn't be a show-stopper. You might want to read for example this post by Graham Cluley.

    What's your startup time with and without Sophos? Is there really that much difference?
