Why do I now have TWO Sophos icons in my MacBook Pro menu bar?

carolynkay

I got a warning box about a threat, and deleted the threat this morning. This afternoon I noticed there are TWO identical Sophos icons in the menu bar- is this a bad thing?

    I had the same problem with the two icons. It's the guest user service. If you have guest users enabled in your users and groups it appears to run double. i disabled the ability for guests to login to my Mac and the second icon disappeared. I'm running Mountain Lion and just started doing the double icon deal this morning. Was there a recent update?

    FWIW, I've never had guest accounts active but the double icon has appeared anyway. When a Sophos update is done, whether manually or automatically, the second icon disappears.
