System becomes unresponsive

I tried the AV out and found it had negative effects on my system. I have a Macbook Pro 3,1 with a 2.4ghz processor, 4gb of ram and a 500gb hd running 10.6.4. 

I noticed that start ups had become longer and icons on my desktop weren't immediately there, instead there were placeholder dashed rectangles. 

I attempted 2 separate scans. Both resulted about the same. My MBP became unresponsive, the items remaining count stopped and the CPU temperature dropped from an elevated working temp to a lower idle temp. I wasn't able to check through the activity monitor due to the unresponsiveness. Both times I had to press and hold the power button to shut down because clicking restart didnt respond.

Anyone else having this problem?

  • Hello,

    I'm having the same problem.  Home Ed gets about 80% done and then there is not further GUI activity.  I can not quit or force quit and the more I try it get the system back (terminal & ssh "reboot now", remote desktop "Restart System") etc. Will lead to a totally frozen system.  Have force rebooted multiple times and still does the same issue.

    I have a i7 MBP 2.6GHz (MacBookPro6,2) with 8GB of RAM.

    Thanks.
