Real-time scan customization

Goodmorning everyone,

I don't know if I'm writing in the right place, but I try to ask you a question:

I'm using Sophos antivirus on my Linux distribution. I have the free version of Sophos, although I am considering buying the home version.
I have activated real-time scanning via fanotify, since the "talpa modules" do not work.
Sophos analyzes every single file I open, even those that have just been closed and reopened a few seconds later. This implies, on my laptop, an excessive slowness in launching some applications, which even require many minutes to start. I think this depends on the fact that I installed the operating system on an eemc flash memory, which unfortunately is not very fast in reading.
I would like to ask you if there is any way to customize real-time protection, so that it doesn't scan every single file I try to start. Maybe it is possible to customize the behavior by purchasing some version of Sophos, but I would like to ask it, because if it is not possible to do it for me Sophos is unusable.

Thank you all.

Raffaele
