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?

    Ok, this is getting a lot closer to working now, but there's still two problems that I can see:

    This is what you entered:

    sweep /Volumes/BOOTCAMP  -dn >> /Users/<brianarmour>/Desktop/SweepLog.txt

    First, you have a space between ">>" and "/Users/".

    Second, it shouldn't actually have the "<" and ">" characters around your username, we just used that to indicate that's where text needed to be added.

    So I suggest you try this:

    sweep /Volumes/BOOTCAMP -dn>>/Users/brianarmour/Desktop/SweepLog.txt

    and if that doesn't work:

    sweep /Volumes/BOOTCAMP -dn>>/Users/Brian/Desktop/SweepLog.txt

    The reason why I said "Brian"  instead of "brianarmour" is because sometimes OS X uses only your first name and sometimes it uses your full name.

    Command prompts are very picky about spelling and spaces and such things.

    Thanks in advance.
