Scan never completes

I downloaded Antivirus for Mac HE last night and updated.  Twice I tried to run my initial scan and it froze both times with 5.8M items remaining out of 6.0M.  What's hanging this up?

PS:  I tried attaching both log files after copying them to Text Edit but your Forum wouldn't allow me to attach a .rtf or .txt file.

  • On my iMac (Snow Leopard) how long do you think (estimated time) it would take for
    Sophos to scan a 2 TB recovery file I did with Disk Drill drive
    recover program? I am currently going on 5 days plus and no end
    insight. I am worried about my hard drives constantly running for so
    long. Should I be worried? It says and it does say issues detected.
    I checked the internal main drive and found a file that said infected
    files. 4 were in there so I deleted them while Sophos was still
    scanning. I am about ready to give up and stop it.  Other programs take about 2 hours.
