Anti-Virus Software Installation
Download Sophos anti-virus from https://itservices.stanford.edu/service/ess/mac/sophos.
NOTE: There have been 2 cases where the anti-virus repeatedly appears to cause mac system hangs ("spinning beach ball of death") to the point where we have uninstalled the antivirus software.
These steps work previously to recover from this problem:
...
- boot to "safe mode" (hold "shift" key down while booting)
- uninstall sophos by running the following program in Finder:
Code Block MacintoshHD->Library->SophosAntiVirus->RemoveSophosAntiVirus.pkg
- Reboot machine (don't need "safe mode" anymore)
- download/install applejack from http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack
- boot to single-user mode (hold "apple" and "s" key down at same time while booting). this should look like a "terminal" (no fancy windows)
- type "applejack"
- select "a" (auto-mode)
- wait 15-30 minutes for fixes to take place
- select "r" to restart machine at end of applejack run
- reinstall sophos anti-virus from https://itservices.stanford.edu/service/ess/mac/sophos
