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,

    Thank you all for your testing and feedback, from the information we have so far it doesnt appear to be a problem with Bootcamp itself but possibly a file in the Bootcamp partition.

    As a test can you run a custom scan, only scanning the Bootcamp partition, one scan with archive scanning turned on and another with archive scanning turned off. Do you experience the same freezing behaviour or does the scan complete successfully?

    Thanks
