Sophos Anti-Virus Mac query

musos

Hi there,

I'm running Sophos Anti-Virus in Mac OS 10.6.6

It has detected a threat (Mal/Phish-A) which seems to be on my Time Machine drive. I tried to clean up the threat but I get:

Cleanup of the threat was not successful. You must clean it up manually.

The path to the threat is so long that it is abbreviated in the Sophos window:

/Volumes/Time Machine/Backups.backupdb/…/47790/2/www.standardbank.co.za.html

In other words the "..." prevent me from finding the exact location of the threat.

I did a search for the enclosing folder in the latest backup, and found the original threat. I did a scan and it says "Open Quarantine Manager" which then instructs me to clean up manually. So, it seems I'm in a loop....

How do I get rid of the threat? In other words, how do I "clean this up manually"? 

Any suggestions?

    I downloaded the sophos program for the mac and scaned all my drives and it found 8 but 

    i tryed to download the removal tool  which I did but the terminal box came up with it does not run in dos can someone help me please Im running Mac OS 10.6.6 and the findings were trojans,malware and fake OSX

    I figured it out - I had to unlock the lock to make changes then click on the higlighted virus which took me to the threat center screen then I closed it and went back to the quarantine manager window and clean up was available for removal.  Just kept repeating the process until all were removed.
