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 appreciate your replies brvx. They certainly explain clearly the situation and I feel I now understand the process better. I had the feeling that some incoming connections were not legitimate to the page I wanted to see, but it does seem difficult sometimes to figure out what is what when just an I.P. address for the website shows from Sophos and Little Snitch. I found that what I rejected from the Sophos warning shows up in the Little Snitch rules, so I assume they are interacting in unison in some fashion. I recently had a youtube page redirected to my router login, which I stopped manually, youtube then showed the connection as unsecure. Also while I was watching a BBC documentary on Filmon.com an online chat between a number of what seemed like hackers started; I immediately cut the connection. The ISP technician has visited here and checked everything, and after the issues continued I got them to put a new router. I assume this was some hacker connecting through one of the connections I had allowed. The various warnings are not so much annoying as I don't know which ones to allow when so many pop up for some pages. Thank you for your kind advice.
