Full Scan will not complete

I have tried many times to complete a full scan and each time it stops at about a third left to go with the following error:

"Scan cannot be completes.  An error occured running the scan."

I have tried redownloading, removing and reinstalling Sophos, and get the same result.  In case it was an issue with the bootcamp partition I excluded it in a custom scan and the same error still appears.

It is running on an iMac 3.06GHz intel core i3, which has been upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion.  I had no problems running the full scan prior to upgrading to Lion.  I am running the latest version of Sophos (7.3.2c with threat detection engine 3.22.0), so it should be a Lion compatible version.

Another problem that has developed since the upgrade is the shield icon on the top bar intermitently disappears and the setting to display in status bar needs to be rechecked to enable it again.

Any help with this would be much appreciated as until now I've had no problems at all with this great free tool!

  • I've had the same problem happen to me this morning. The items counter got down to 94800 and the program just stopped but didn't freeze. I have the same version and threat detection number as jshoughton. My iMac is a 2.4 GHz Core 2 duo with 2Gb RAM running OS X Lion.

    However unlike jshoughton I haven't had an error message.

    All help appreciated thanks.
