Mac OS Yosemite and Sophos for Mac ---slowing down my internet speeds

Trosum
So I installed the newest version of Sophos for Mac onto my Mac Pro and iMac. I'm running latest version of Yosemite and after the install it slowed down my internet speeds. My download speeds were drastically affected, so I think uninstalled Sophos and my speeds were back to normal. Is there anything I can do to have Sophos running and my download speeds/internet speeds at their normal speeds? Please help asap.

    Hi Trosum,

    Leave web protection on for now - they are separate features. If you find that network performance is improved with live protection disabled, then we know that's where the issue was. 

    The difference between the two is web protection scans websites for malicious content, whereas live protection is essentially a way for the endpoint software to have the most up to the second virus information from SophosLabs. Without it, you are still protected by the regular on access scanning as long as you keep SAV up to date. 

    More info on how live protection works is available here.
