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 having the same problem on my Mac mini running El Capitan with Sophos Home 1.1.0 beta, which I just installed yesterday. The scan locks up the entire computer about halfway through the scan, requiring a hard reboot. The logs give no information about the scan results other than what volumes were detected.
