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?

    How does one use this workaround if neither BootCamp nor Parallels Desktop / VMWare Fusion have never been anywhere near one's Macintosh?

    Re Update to the work-around post maybe you should avoid not only the Scan Local Drives option, but also avoid other on-demand scans.

    Whilst your issue may be unrelated to the extension that Apple provide for NTFS, it's possible that a fix or workaround on the Sophos side will have broader benefits than for NTFS alone. Just a guess.
