Sophos AV for Linux prevents Wine Installation

Hello,

I wanted to report an issue and wasn't sure the best place to post it.  I installed Sophos AV for Linux a few weeks ago and things were going well until I noticed that Wine would hang when Play-on-Linux would try and create and configure a new Wine prefix.  I removed both Wine and POL.  On attempting to reinstall, apt would hang on unpacking the file wine1.6-i386:i386 from the official repo.  I then used the official WineHQ PPA and the same thing happened on install this time with the file wine-stable-i386:i386.  After turning off the on access scanning portion of Sophos I was able to install with no issues.  I have left it off since.  I just wanted you guys to know that your product seems to cause issues with Wine installation and function.

I originally posted this in the forums for Linux Mint as I am running Mint 18.2.  Here is the post for more details:

Cheers,
