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

Hi Bob,

I experience the same as Manny. I am running 10.7.4. There is no Sophos in the login item.

I'll check back to this forum later.

Thanks,

Rudy

Some people have reported that the secondary icon has vanished after another update.  I'd suggest waiting a day and see if things go back to normal.

Hi Mr. Cook ,  Thanks for your assistance, worked perfectly!!!

Hi Rudy,

Do you have more than one user logged into your machine via Fast User Switching? If so can you try having everyone log out then in again?

This must be contagious! I saw this post this morning and, after restarting my Macbook, it now shows 2 Sophos icons in the menubar. I do not have ANY Sophos items in my login items. And, I am running only off my own User (which has always had Admin privileges) under OS 10.7.4. What is going on?  Where is this 2nd icon coming from?

My 2nd icon is now gone!  Since I am running OS 10.7 and did not find a Sophos item in my Login Items, I suspected it might have something to do with having my clone backup drive connected, so I disconnected it and restarted... 2nd icon disappeared. I don't really know what caused the 2nd icon to appear OR disappear. Hope you (Bob) come up with some rationale for it.

same problem here, 2 sophos shields on the menu bar on log in. i'm using ver 8.0.6c on Mountain lion.

Hello, 

I also had this appearance. Now I did it like described:

--> System Preferences, Users & Groups, Login Items.

I delete Sophos and restart.

Now only one Icon appear in the status bar. But I do not have anymore

the Login Item in the User & Groups.

That is ok?

What I did was just Removed Sophos and then removed the login item in Accounts.

Then reinstalled Sophos. This works fine.

That is the way to go - the Login item was not needed for a long time (Since Snow Leopard), but upgrading keeps it in Apples' Login list, and so now it  finally bit back!
