System becomes unresponsive

Chogidog

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?

    "However, the temperature is running at about 208 degrees farenheight"

    Chogidog,

        The overheating issue is related to Apples SMC cooling solution built into the machine. This is of NO FAULT caused by SAV I ASSURE you. As a test, feel free to do ANY heavy cpu intensive work with your MBP (handbrake encoding, gaming, watching 720p flash video, etc) and you will also see the temps rise significantly.

    This is due to the fact that Apple sets the machines up to run a SILENTLY as possible before ramping up the fans to cool it down, which ineffect sometimes leads to the machine getting TOO HOT.

    I, as well as many other MBP owners use SMC fancontrol and set out fans manually to prevent this from happening. This has been an issue since I bought my original 2006 Intel 15inch MBP(now sold), and my 2009(15inch) and 2010(13inch) models as well. It's Apple, you learn to live with it, or find your own solution like some of us do. Thats the problem  with Apple using Steves "vision" to try to appease everyone.

    In additon, prior to installing SAV, when was the last time you repaired disk permissions??? If you can be bothered to do so, would you mind uninstalling SAV, rebooting and repairing permissions? Then reinstall SAV and try scanning again

    Hope this helps...
