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

floridabrits

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!

    Thanks for the re-post, its not really an answer to my question...  I would appreciate a little more information, as I use my machine every day for business critical activities

    It is strange as its only some configurations, as my configuration is a MBP that started off as 10.5, got upgraded to 10.6 and now 10.7.2.  You are welcome to logs from my machine to assist with the understanding of the issue (I just need to know where to send them).

    I thought it was an issue with a Firefox plugin, so removed them and then moved to using Safari but would like to go to using Firefox.

    I will update my configuration and see how it works.

    Thanks
