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

    It's likely in your Java cache; when adding the folder to scan to your Custom Scan, navigate to /Users/<youraccount>/Library/Caches/Java/ and add that path.  If this doesn't find it, try deleting everything in that folder from your Time Machine backup via the Time Machine interface (looks like a Finder window).

    Searching these forums for Java will provide more detailed explanations if you're interested.
