Trouble with SophosWebIntelligence.bundle

nevets

I am using a Mac OS10.6.8

Yesterday Sophos Anti-Virus updated to 9.0.1 - but seems to have also installed at the same time SophosWebIntelligence.bundle

Now whenever I use the internet (Safari) numerous request popups show to allow or disallow connections.

I have Little Snitch installed and those connection requests seem not to show anymore: they were far fewer than what now shows  as SophosWebIntelligence.bundle

The issues are:

Some some reason I no logger access to Google search. Of course I didn’’’’t deny a goggle connection and google was already set under little snitch as always connect.

The internet has become I would guess 10 times slower; it’’’’s almost a snails pace.

I can’’’’t fine the preference details for the SophosWebIntelligence.bundle - I assume it is like Little Snitch were any access denied can be undone or permanent access set.

THere is now an excess of deny or accept popups for every page I visit - the obvious ones of course I allow but some are vague. There can be around 10 per page.

Any ideas how to solve these points would be welcome.

    I don't use Little Snitch so I can't speak to how it and Sophos might interact. But Sophos Web Protection has a lot going on while you surf. This thread goes into the Sophos screening process and what the outbound traffic involves. One key idea is that while you may be visiting a single web page, that page is often made up of a variety of components which require reaching out to a lot of other locations to populate the web page and for other purposes. Sophos is checking them, too.
