New user to Sophos for Mac - problems reported in log

jasimon9

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?

    I may have to take back the comment about Exchange 2007.  I was at my mother's house a couple of hours ago and it was working.  This was just after I had uninstalled Sophos so I attributed the fix to a problem with Sophos.  On my mom's wifi, exchange was picking up mail again. It had stopped a couple of days ago and that was when I had installed Sophos.  Now I'm home and I'm having the same problems as I was last night even though Sophos is uninstalled.  There must be a problem with my wifi setup.

    The recommendation to uninstall Sophos came from tech support at ShirtPocket software.  The backup is running right now with no problems.  I have to have my daily backup so I'm afraid I still can't install Sophos.
