Macbook Air with Lion freezes during Time Machine backup...

I see a number of threads here with folks having stalling systems, but I have a situation where my Macbook Air completely freezes up (usually when Time Machine backup starts, or that's what I have observed when I wake the system up... the system wakes up, then freezes as Time Machine backup starts).

I logged a case with Apple and since they told me to remove Sophos Antivirus and since then my system has completely stabilized and I've not had a freeze in over a week (prior to uninstallation of Sophos my system was freezing up between 1 and 5 times a day).

Any ideas 'why' this is happening and if Sophos are aware of this and looking to patch/fix it?  Has anyone else experienced this issue and is it possible to run Sophos on Macbook Air/Lion or is there a compatibility issue?

Many thanks for any help/pointers!

  • There is 4GB on the Air (almost never use it all as it's mainly used for mail and internet only).

    There is 8GB on the Mac mini; almost never use it all either, but occasionally I run a Windows VM that starts to use up quite a bit, hence why I have 8GB installed.

    Hope this helps?
