[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1901974, member: 190607"] It's why I created an entire Web site devoted to the problem. [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macattorney.com/sd.html[/URL] As I've said a number of times, I hear from one or two people EVERY WEEK who tell me that their Mac has slowed to a crawl, often with lots of rotating beachballs, and the first thing that I always ask them is "do you have anti-virus software running?" and the answer is just about always "yes". I ask them if it is Sophos, and about 90% of the time it is. I then have them delete it FULLY, and the problem just about always goes away immediately. We may want to pin that advice somewhere here on Mac-Forums. [/QUOTE]
