Cant Unlock

What exactly is happening?  Does it prompt for a username and password and just shake that it's not correct?

If you're a standard user that would be expected.  See this demo:

The post below explains it too.

It just doesnt respond when i click on unlock

it doesnt even prompt for user/password it just flat out doesnt respond

wonder if it is a bug

I think it is - a bug.  It just happened to me.  The Mac was 10.7.5, SAV 9.0.5.

You click on the padlock to try and unlock the SAV preferences and the icon (padlock) flickers for a second and does nothing.  If I open System Preferences and try and unlock a panel there, there is no problem.

I resolved the problem by shutting down the Mac, and then powering it up again.

I'll have to see if it happens again.

I'm having the same problem as grizo1222.  I installed OSX Mavericks and noted problems with SAV.  Tried to unistall and can't do that.  Tried to clear a threat twice before and couldn't unlock the loc, then no sign of the threat.  occurred again today.  

Note I am very technically unsavvy and skitterish at trying to go into the terminal and do anything without pretty detailed directions.

This hasn't happened since - it was a one-ff for me... though I have upgrading the Mac to 10.9 recently so that would have reshuffled the deck a fair bit :smileyhappy:

No matter what I did, including shutting off the computer and restarting it, nothing worked.  I ended up uninstalling SAV through the terminal, via a tip noted in this community.  

Now working on installing SAV.
