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.

    Please don't attempt to delete files on your Time Machine volume.  This volume is managed by Time Machine, and just like Sophos won't let you delete things from it randomly, neither will the OS.  Apple provides one recommended interface to this data, and that is the Time Machine interface, available from the Time Machine menu bar icon and from the Time Machine preferences panel.

    Instead, navigate to "Macintosh HD/Users/Steve/Library/Mail/IMAP-mycondoinparadise

    @imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail.imapmbox/Attachments/" within the Finder, enter Time Machine (using the menu bar or preferences interface), then navigate to the subfolder "27752/2/"

    Then, right click Application Form.htm and select "Delete all backups".
