Sophos for Mac "Computer is Vulnerable"

I am now getting "Computer is Vulnerable" on my Sophos for Mac as the Web Protection is disabled. How can I stop the notification while keeping web protection disabled?

Thanks

Hi TTC

To my knowledge I don't think we have an option to disable the notification, but still let me double check and update you shortly.

+1 on this. I opt not to have web protection enabled. If that results in a persistent warning message, then that makes Sophos' warning messages useless to me, since I can't tell the difference between a normal state and a state that I should be concerned about.

Hi TTC

To update the community and this thread:

This warning behavior and message is as designed. The warning is displayed as one of the core security features is disabled, resulting in a potential security vulnerability. Unfortunately this warning notification is unable to be dismissed or removed until the vulnerability is addressed. However, I have informed our Sophos Home product team of this feedback and request for future consideration.
