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?

  • Hi

    I've just downloaded and installed Sophos for Mac (Free Edition)... I was really pleased that you have decided to provide such an industry standard piece of software free to home users of Mac's... However on running a scan, I too am experiencing a system lock up each time a scan is generated.

    So I am now eagerly awaiting a fix to this issue as it's clearly a problem for many and not just me.

    Other than that I have always been impressed with your products as we use them at work....
