Sophos 9.4 hanging on every scan

I have run Sophos Anti-virus on my Mac laptop several times now and every time it hangs half-way through the scan. From what I can tell, it is hanging on the exact same file each time. I get no message of any kind, just the progress bar showing how far along it is and the number of files scanned. I am running Yosemite on my Mac. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,


Darin

  • I'm getting the same problem, but it only started when I upgraded to El Capitan. Don't have any answers for you, sorry, but perhaps the moderators will start to notice. Adrian
  • Hi @Adrian Kelly and @DarinFennell. What file does it hang on? Is it the same as community.sophos.com/.../10371
  • this is happening to me as well after an el capitan update. The "files remaining #" counts down, but it keeps getting hung up on the series of files (one is open office; the other is education software). My scan got 75% done before this started, and it just took forever (~3 hours for 600000 files) and I just shut it down.
  • It would be really helpful if you could post the output of the logs, so we can get an idea of which files the scan is hanging on.

  • here's what in the log files for scan local drives:
