Troj/Badsrc-M, quarantine manager and clear from list

Hi

This is the first time I´ve encountered a malware with my Mac.

While surfing with Firefox Sophos announced that it had detected Troj/Badsrc-M in Firefox cache file and moved it to quarantine.

I opened Quarantine manager and clicked Troj/Badsrc-M and then Clean up threat. Threat was cleaned. But after few seconds Sophos warned again about the threat and took it to Quarantine. I went to Quarantine manager but  I mistakenly clicked Clear from the list instead of Clean up threat.

My questions are:

1. Does it mean that when I mistakenly clicked Clear from the list instead of Clean up threat Sophos doesn´t detect Troj/Badsrc-M anymore? Will Scan local drives find Troj/Badsrc-M?

2. I understand that the found malware is for Windows (http://www.sophos.com/en-us/threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Troj~Badsrc-M.aspx), so it doesn´t affect Mac and there is nothing to worry about? Am I right?

  • this happens to me ev time i run a scan - threat detected and disappears from screen before i can press cleanup.  relieved to know others had this happen and posted about it with their ideas, solutions.  i will try to go to log and delete manually. however, isn't that the whole point of QM?  thanks.
