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?

    Got any insight on the file issues I listed,

    Nope - otherwise I would have told you :smileyhappy:, but I assume Andrew will comment on it.

    or why the files vanished from the Quarantine window?

    There are several reasons why entries appear in QM for a short period and then disappear, e.g. if your settings requested automatic cleanup an item migth appear in QM and disappear again after the cleanup has completed. The log should contain the details of the detections.
