Review: Sophos antivirus for Mac

I’ll come right out and say it. Sophos antivirus for Mac truly sucks. As Mac users know Macs are normally incredibly fast. They also do an amazing job at task management. For example; Firefox uses about 5-10% of your CPU at any given time, more CPU usage than that can really slow down your computer. Guess how much Sophos antivirus uses… 30% when its running in the background (by the way, I know I answered my own question). If you run the scan…
That’s what happens. It stops. I don’t know how much CPU it uses when it is running because my computer stopped when I ran it.

My advice to Sophos is to get their act together and do some testing before they release a big product like this. Words alone do not describe the horridness of this product. It has to be the worst commercial software on the planet.
