DELETING A THREAT MANUALLY - FINDING THE THREAT

colettenorris

Whenever I do a full scan, Sophos finds the same two threats which need to be manually removed.  The trouble is I can't find the location folder of these threats as whenever I search for the filename on my mac they just can't be found.

Does anyone know of a way I can find the path to where these threats are located so I can manually remove them?  

Thanks

    I found that I actually had to go into Time Machine, find one instance of the infected file, right click on the file, and then select: delete all backups. That deleted all of the files of the same name in Time Machine. I was not able to find those files searching in Finder and when I found them manually, I was not able to delete them. The work had to be done within Time Machine.
