Hi!

I noticed (about since 2 weeks) Microsoft Skype running in background, periodicly causes high CPU usage with Sophos Endpoint ( Sophos File Scanner Process ).
Is there any other people here who experienced this?

Hi MysteriousDT , 
 Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 
 If you are looking for additional details on what is being scanned, or what activities Sophos File Scanner is performing when the CPU usage increases, I'd suggest trying some of the steps mentioned in the following article. - Sophos File Scanner Performance: What's being Scanned/What to Exclude 
 The article mentioned above will help aid you in creating the necessary exclusions to limit the increase in CPU usage. In most cases, creating a exclusion of the type "Process" will have the greatest impact on the overall resource utilization you observe.
