The Quarantine Manager

mustafagavor

In the past i have had problems with virus software moving vital files  like whole mailboxes to the Quarantine Manager and messing up some of my mail clients  will Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition do this or has it better ways to deal with files.

I use ClamXAV at the moment it scans without moving the files and let me decide how to deal with them in situ

Can some point out how the Quarantine Manager works and are there any pitfalls.

    Andrew, If I may ask a question about time machine and deleting files. I have MAC 10.6.8  and SOPHOS finda the MAL / Phish-A file in my time machine. It tells me I have to deal with it manually. I have navigatedto the 1 file backup date and backup number and delete the entire backup. Then I secure empty trash.

    When I run SOPHOS again, it will find it in another different date bacup in time machine. So far It has found and I have deleted the entire date backup edition of 12/13, 12/14/, 1/7/12, and now it found the same file again in 12/18/11. Always the same file, same way to get to it, just a different day.

    Can't SOPHOS find all the files so I can delete the 8 backup sets and be done with this virus?

    Do I need to basically erase, format, and re set up my time machine?

    My investigations find that this virus effects Windows systems. Does this really matter?

    Thanks for your advise
