Sophos 9.9.6 on Mac Catalina 15.2 Will Not Stop Downloading

Cassandra Chaya Khan

It's been 4 hours now, and it's hanging  up my system.

I tried the suggested command :

sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/com.sophos.sau/ ; /usr/bin/SophosUpdate

And got back "No such folder: /usr/bin/SophosUpdate"

    Hi  

    Would you please provide more details about the issue you are facing? An error screenshot would be more helpful. Also, are you seeing this issue only on a single machine?

    Hello Shweta,

    This morning when I woke up my computer and logged in, the Sophos icon started showing it was downloading in my Mac's menu bar. The download icon shows a little animation with an arrow scrolling down. It's been 8 hours and it has not stopped. When I log into my Sophos home account, it says everything is OK:"This device is secured"

    I don't know if the file is being blocked, is stuck at some 99.9% download, or if there is something blocking the download. Or is the continually-scrolling arrow in the menu bar a new feature of version 9.9.6 ?, because it's slowing my computer down a good bit.

    I am using a MacBook Pro with Catalina 10.15.2
