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.

    Sophos treads lightly when handling files within a Time Machine backup, as if Apple changes anything, us messing with the archives could result in the entire backup being destroyed.

    When you say you delete the entire backup, you mean you right clicked and selected "Delete All Backups of <infected file> ?  This should automatically delete the backups from other dates as well.

    However, if the file is still in your mailbox, it will get backed up again.

    Phish-A really affects everyone, as it just means that there is an attachment that forges itself as content from a legitimate banking site.  However, it only really affects people who fall for the phish and send their information to the phisher.
