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

    Remove them the same way as the others.  The info is all in the path and filename info you provided below, if you find you have further issues like this in the future.

    Also, please read these forums for how to perform manual cleanup... it's not as manual as it sounds.  You just have to create a custom scan of the drive with the malicious files on it, and run the scan.  However, when dealing with Time Machine, it's always safer to use the Time Machine interface if you can.
