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.

    That makes a lot of sense ZRL1, I appreciate the reply; I think that pop-ups are showing for every external element of every webpage visited; were previously they only showed for teh webpage itself.

    I was trying to find the rules within SophosWebIntelligence.bundle, but SophosWebIntelligence.bundle seems to have hijacked Little Snitch and puts SophosWebIntelligence.bundle as the title of the pop up instead of the previous title of Little Snitch.

    Now looking at the rules in Little Snitch the number of accept and deny requests are in the 100's under SophosWebIntelligence. Not sure how all that came about. Previously any element would only have one or two.

    I found some thread here about recommending setting new rules in Little Snitch to allow all connections on port 443 and port 80, but there was no conclusion as to whether that was safe or not.

    It certainly is confusing.
