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?

    Also very slow here on iMac. 6.8 million files identified, still 5 million plus to scan over 12 hours later, and it appeared to have stopped (file count not going down for over an hour). Log file doesn't help as it doesn't seem to log anything useful, there aren't even any timestamps in the log.
