Problems encounter when scanning local drive!

I've been using Sophos for a year and it's working flawlessly on my mac, but it would not update to version 8 despite I update it manually. Anyways, my cousin downloaded the latest version of Sophos yesterday, the computer freezed whenever he hit 'scan local drive'. What is going on? I speculate if there isn't enough memory (he has a 15" mbp, 4gb ram); or it's the program itself. I told him not to scan in the mean time. Can anyone explains this to me? Thank you

  • Do the logs in console.app indicate anything odd?  4GB RAM should be more than enough.  There are a few good threads on this topic on the forum; a search may help more than running through all the possibilities in a new thread.
