Scan hangs on Lion

I recently downloaded the free Sophos AV program and am trying to run in on my Mac running Lion. Twice now I've tried to run it and it has hung for more than a day with 1,640,574 files left to go. Whatever it's doing, it's working hard at it because it's using about 100% of the processor time for both cores. Earlier, it hung for hours on one file when there were 2,082,708 files left to go and it finally moved on but since it's been more than 24 hours now, I think I can safely say that it is hopelessly hung. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    I just attempted to replicate this and failed; however, I was able to get the Sophos Anti-Virus.app front end to quit with no errors by scanning an archive that was bigger than the space available on the main drive.
