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?

    Marf,

    I did the scans that you asked for and came away with mixed results.

    I started with Bootcamp without the archived and compressed files, I ran it 3 times.

    First time, the scan started with 58,258 files remaining and the blue progress bar showing at the left by about 1/8". 

    Got up to make a bowl of food and when i came back (3-4 min)it was completed. 

    Wanting to actually see the scan happen, I ran it a 2nd time.

    This time, after about a minute, I got a kernal panic you must restart your computer pop up. I restarted and saved the report if you want it.

    Third time, The scan completed in about 5 minutes. The progress bar showed at 58,258 at the start and never progressed. the scan just reported that it was completed and no threats found.

    For Bootcamp with archived and compressed files the results were similar.

    First scan produced a kernal panic and I saved that report as well.

    Second scan started at the 58,258 again. It held at that for about 5 minutes then reported complete with no progress bar movement.

    Hope that helps, let me know if you want the panic reports.
