Does Sophos Conflict with ClamX?

akseeker

Hi,

Currently running ClamXAV on my system, will there be a conflict if I were to install Sophos?

Thank you.

    Hello akseeker,

    there's not only the potential - a conflict is very likely, it will at least produce errors in one of the scanners (unless the OS provides means for layered or staged protection and both products support it).

    Hi akseeker,

    QC is correct. You should only run one AV solution, and you will get conflicts if you run Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition alongside ClamXAV. The advice from the support and engineering teams here is to disable the pre-existing app before using the Sophos solution.

    regards,

    ClamXav alone is unlikely to cause a conflict. 

    I would be wary of running ClamXav Sentry whilst Sophos Anti-Virus is present.

    I have both ClamXav and Sophos, I only one run one of them at a time.  Usually I have Sophos running but sometimes turn it off and run ClamXav, which usually finds some infected files.  Is this causing problems on my system or is it ok?

    I also have Malwarebytes Anti-malware installed but it doesn't run unless I run it.  Thank you for your help.
