LOFAR is a new radio telescope built in and around the Netherlands that will probe the universe between 10 and 200 MHz. Most of LOFAR's hardware has been installed and the next step is writing the required algorithms to process LOFAR's data. One such algorithm is the detection of interference. Since LOFAR is built in a populated environment, care has to be taken to deal with interference from terrestrial origin. A detection pipeline was written that removes interference in an automated way. This pipeline is now in use and the radio environment around LOFAR is being analyzed. Results show a relatively benign radio environment with a loss of data of a few per cent due to interference.
