My Boot Disk is Full......Yet Again!

Fotomann

I have just un-installed my Sophos AntiVirus for Mac as every time I run a full scan on my multi-drive MacBook this application fills my boot disk and locks the system, requiring it to be powered down by holding down the power switch. Thankfully my MacBook does lock up, thus preventing my data from being corrupted.

It's a shame that this otherwise excellent AV application is spoiled by a simple to fix bug such as this in the software. So I suppose it will be back to Kaspersky!

    As ALL my work files from the outside world arrive in a compressed format, telling my AV application to ignore them is defeating the whole object of having AV software in the first place. What sort of an idiotic suggestion is that?

    If Sophos AV is incapable of correctly scanning files in a compressed format, free or not, it should not be advertised as an AV application - even PC Tools iAntiVirus for Mac can scan HUGE compressed files without screwing up a system. Why can't Sophos just fix this bug and give the Mac World the superb application this software should be: even your latest "fixes" haven't addressed this fault.
