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?

    Hi Chogidog,

    Sure, not a problem please can you use the following syntax in Terminal:

    sweep <bootcamppartition>  -dn >> /Users/<user>/Desktop/SweepLog.txt

    Where <bootcamppartition> is the name of your bootcamp partition and <user> is the name of the currently logged on user on the Mac. The -dn switch is to display the name of the file being scanned this will give you a visual of the scanning process.

    Please make a note of the file that is freezes on, also this can be found in the SweepLog.txt on the desktop of the Mac.

    Further information on sweep can be obtained in Terminal by running the following command:

    sweep -h

    Please could you also provide the panic logs you mentioned earlier by sending them to:

    sophossupport@sophos.com

    Thanks
