My internet keeps on slowing down, almost to a stop at times. Little Snitch tells me that sophoswebintelligence.bundle is responsible. What can I do to stop Sophos taking over my bandwidth?

MacBook OS 10.10.5

Sophos 9.4 Threat detection engine 3.61.0 Threat data 5.20

  • Maybe I didn't described the problem well enough!
    When I am watching video my download will slow and sometimes stop. I see massive activity on my router but nothing I want to see on Safari. When I check with Little Snitch I see a continuous download by sophoswebintelligence.bundle.
    I don't think that Little Snitch is the problem, it is just telling me what is using the bandwidth. It is almost like a denial of service by the amount of data that sophoswebintelligence.bundle is receiving.

  • Hey David,

    Maybe this thread would be more helpful than the last that I suggested. It goes into a fairly good discussion of how LS and SAV work together.

    The TLDR of it all is: try turning off web protection if you're finding it's SAV is too intensive on your internet connection. 

    Hope that helps!
