Sophos Endpoint Security and Visual Studio

Aarongu

Hi, 

We run Sophos Endpoint Secuirty on our desktop machines and a few of those machines have Visual Studio on them. When we was in the process of setting Sophos up, we imported a list of file types (extensions relating to Visual Studio) that we wanted to excluce from being scanned and they have been specified in both the 'on-access scanning' and Windows exclusions areas of the Enterprise Console. 

However, my collaegues are reporting that when compiling a program in Visual Studio, it is taking a considerable time for the project to compile and they have noted that the CPU % utililisation is higher than before Sophos was placed on to the machine. 

Do you have any specific recommendations to make regarding what changes can be made to stop Sophos causing the issues stated above?

    Hi Christian, 

    We have specified all our exclusions in the '*.ext' format and we believe that these are working correctly. What we are trying to find out is, are there any general exlusions that we should be adding to our list that specifically relate to Visual Studio. 

    Our issue is that the CPU % increases dramatically when a program is being compiled, I know that the AV must perform some kind of action whilst the compiling is happening but the development team believe that the CPU usage should not be as high as it is.

    We have not turned off On-Access scanning or HIPS because it defeats the point of having an AV program installed on the machines.
