3CX DLL-Sideloading attack: What you need to know
Hello,
recently we are experiencing heavy performance issues for users with Endpoint installed. It seems that sophos filescanner.exe is taking a lot of resources on the machine making working on it almost impossible. opening Outlook or Teams takes ages and selecting different mails or chats also takes minutes (with regular freezes in between).
i did some testing and it seems as soon as i disable the "real-time scanning - local files and network shares" the computer lives up again.
the laptops are modern i5 cpu's with 16GB of ram so it should not be an issue.
of course i do not want to disable this feature since it is important, but with the performance issues right now it is not worth it. is there any fix for this?
Note: all laptops are connected to OneDrive and an external file share which is mounted, could that be an issue?
Kind regards,
When it's happening, can you see the process SophosScanCoordinator.exe running?
Otherwise, you might find this post of use:
After installing Sophos, the Tasy Java Management System is slow - Discussions - Sophos Endpoint - Sophos Community
You can use it to find what is being scanned.
