Sophos is all screwed up ... hangs in processing

I'm using OS X 10.8.2.

Downloaded Sophos Mac yesterday.

Tried check local, hung on a file for 3 hrs. Couldn't "Stop Scan", so forced it out.

Did a Sophos update, took 2 external drives offline, tried again ... didn't complete scan by morning.

Today, uninstalled, then downloaded and installed again. With 2 external HDs offline tried local check again.

Seems to be hung on a file again... just sitting there (same file for at least 1/2 hr.).

Log doesn't say what it's hung on, and Stop Scan doesn't work.

Total screwup near as I can tell.

Maybe some other product will work?

  • I eventully DID get my booting HD checked, but I had to try 7 times, and had to watch it like a hawk. I had to click the window periodically to keep it alive. If it seemed to be stalled (if it didn't move on to the next after item 20-30 min.), then I'd click on the progress bar, and it seemed to restart.

    Found nothing wrong.

    I tried to do an external HD with 3.5 million items in it (Time Machine backup vault), but it died at 3 million after well over an hour. I'd have to set aside a WHOLE DAY to be able to run this on that drive!!!

    What a nightmare!!!
