Poor performance seen on computers using Sophos products
If one or more of your computers are running excessively slowly and/or you are seeing extremely high CPU or memory utilization, there could be several possible causes.
What to do
The following table provides links to knowledgebase articles that describe possible causes.
| Sophos product | Issues to check |
|---|---|
| Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 2000+ | Is it configured with the recommended settings? |
| Sophos | RouterNT is showing high CPU usage |
| Enterprise Console | Performance issues and database configuration |
| Enterprise Console | Packet loss issues |
| Enterprise Console | Improving performance with a remote console |
| Sophos | Extensive scanning mode is enabled |
| PureMessage for Windows/Exchange | Information store scanning problems |
Occasionally, third party software running on the same system as Sophos products can reduce computer performance, for example Microsoft AutoRoute 2004 with Sophos
