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.

    Here is today's location. What I have done 3 previous times is navigate to (in this example) 2011-12-18-092352.  I select this entire date and everything under it is automatically included, so I ultimately am getting to the end file Application.htm which is the infected file. Time Machine will not allow me to delete anything but the entire backup session. If you attenpt to delete just the .HTM file, or even everything after 27752, time machine says you can not delete it as it is part of a backup set.

    I don't see anywhere to right click and select Delete all backups of <infected file> can you walk me through that process?
