Sophos 8.0.1c stalled?

pkcyll

Looking at older threads seems to indicate that Sophos has a history of stalls.

I launched a scan about 8 hours ago. Maybe 100,000 files have been scanned but the program has been stalled with 1,450,354 files remaining for most of that time.

Reading the older threads, I disabled compressed and archive scanning and the program is not scanning networked volumes. Sophos is taking about 2-3% CPU. Nothing is happening on my 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (4 GB RAM) running 10.7.3.

I had Sophos scan my mac mini this morning and while the scamn was not a speed demon, it did finish the scan within 2 hours.

Ah... down 1,450,353 files to scan. At this rate, .... 

Any clues as to why Sophos is so slow? Do I need to stop and restart the program if I made some changes via the Preferences... menu?

    Thanks for posting that, since Sophos isn't willing to address the issue. This is important information that should be posted under Announcements on the forum

    homepage!

    Evidently, they didn't bother to test v8 at all, because they should have caught this immediately.

    Unfortunately, I can't use 7.3, because I don't have it and it doesn't appear to be available for download here, at least I couldn't find it.

    Which version works great, 7.3.9?
