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!

  • Before doing this I had to look up how to "show hidden files" in the Sophos dialog box, and so thought to document this for future readers. When the dialog box opens after clicking the "+" to exclude a file, type "Cmd-Shift-." (that's a period), which allows you to see and exclude the files mentioned here.  Typing the key sequence again toggles this mode back off.
