OS X 10.6.8 and Sophos Endpoint AV v.8.07 Hangs on Login

There are several iMacs and Mac Pros using Sophos v.8.07 that hang during user login.  We first observed this problem in our computer labs, and more recently it has been affecting our Staff and Faculty.  The computer boots as normal, and presents the user login screen.  On login, the desktop loads and then the spinning beach ball of death spins forever.  We've narrowed down the problem to SOPHOS.  When we uninstall the Sophos Client, everything works as expected again.  When we reinstall the Sophos client, it hangs on login.  We need help fixing this problem as it's spreading to among our end users.  Any advice? Please help!

  • We are having the exact same problem in a school setting with 8.07 and Mac OS 10.6.8. It's really becoming a problem. We are right  now telling the server not to only push updates up to 8.06 and uninstalling Sophos to see if that works.
