New user to Sophos for Mac - problems reported in log

I have been evaluating AV products for the Mac. I am disappointed with several of the "star performers" from the Windows world, because they are buggy or unstable. So far Sophos seems the most trouble free.

However, after doing a full system scan, there were several issues that I think are problems with Sophos rather than actual malware. There was one file that I believe is a false positive. I uploaded that file to Sophos and they confirmed it was clean.

The reason I am writing this message is because the full scan also reported several "corrupted files", which I do not believe are corrupted. Typically they are bz2 files, but also some dmg, jar and exe files.

Is there a problem with this version of Sophos where it reports corrupted files that are not in fact corrupted?

  • Two deal breakers for me so I had to uninstall Sophos:

    1.  Interferes with SuperDuper! backup

    2.  Interferes with Exchange Server 2007 access through Mac Mail.

    Until these issues are addressed, which I believe are large problems, at least for me, I won't be able to use Sophos Antivirus for Mac or recommend it to my friends.
