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?

    Once again, what precisely was the issue you were having running backups with Sophos installed?  The product is very configurable, and can probably run alongside if the right settings are used and/or folders are excluded from on-access scanning.  Since this is a fairly popular piece of backup software, I'm sure others would also like to know how to run both at the same time.

    Were you having backup problems even with On-Access scanning disabled?
