System hangs on shutdown

LDMartin1959

I have a new iMac running the latest version of Lion. Since installing Sophos the system hangs when I try to shut down. The desktop clears, I get the grey shut down screen, and there it stays. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, what is the solution?

    Yes; the purpose of this is to see if the culprit is the interaction between your external devices and the on-access scan.

    Also, data on an external drive is not going to be malicious in a real-time way, unless it autolaunches somehow.  Of course, if you regularly execute software off of an external drive, it should definitely be protected with the on-access scanner.  For the rest, you can set up a scheduled scan (with archive scanning enabled, etc.) to do a full in-depth scan of all contents.
