Scan this mac will never complete ! / scanning a folder actually works?!

cesare

Hi,

I'm using SAV 9.0.3 with OSX 10.9 (Mavericks), I actually have this problem since installing a new SSD (500 GB) from Samsung. Since then I'm not anymore able to do a complete system scan, although I can successfully scan e.g. the documents folder. When I start a full scan (scan this mac) it will simply keep on showing the inital progress bar that in german says "Berechnung erfolgt...", in English something like "computing time needed". I let it run an entire night it a couple of days ago but it never got beyond this stage. After that I can't stop it anymore I have to close SAV with the task manager. Strange enough I can properly scan smaller folders.

I tried already to reinstall SAV on older versions, but this didn't actually help. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Cesare

    i tried with a reboot but it didn't help. thanks a lot for the link to the other threads.

    then i tried this suggestion: sudo sweep / with the following result:

    ...

    Could not open /usr/include/X11

    Could not open /usr/lib/charset.alias

    Could not open /usr/local/lib/libprl_sdk.dylib

    Could not open /usr/share/locale/locale.alias

    761926 files swept in 27 minutes and 48 seconds.

    592 errors were encountered.

    No viruses were discovered.

    1 encrypted file was not checked.

    Ending Sophos Anti-Virus.

    the errors are basically files that sophos couldn't open. is this an issue or maybe the root of the problem?

    thanks
