Opening/creating multitrack session in v 24.2 causes antivirus to shutdown Audition

[NoTex1138]

Running Windows 10 and using the latest version of Audition (24.2), the program is shut down by my employer's antivirus (Sophos Endpoint Agent) whenever I open or create a new multitrack session with the error "Lockdown - malicious behavior prevented in Adobe Audition." This problem began when I updated to 24.2, and ONLY occurs with this version. I am able to work normally in 23.5, which I have installed seperately. 

I've seen no other posts about this, and I cannot replicate it on other work computers with the same version of Audition installed. 

Any suggestions or simular experiences? Am I at the mercy of my employer's system administrators and their chosen security program? Trying to avoid reinstall if possible, as it tends to wipe out all of my settings and preferences.

No other posts? Somebody else raised this only the other day - here. I have no update on the situation, so I'm not sure whether this is just a false positive, or something that Adobe's caused without realising it...

I have my IT department working on this.. turning SOPHOS OFF worked  but the College isn't interested in keeping sophos off...    they have submitted a ticket with Sophos as they think they've pinpointed it to the exe file... but no definitive wod yet.
