Strange virus founds on my MAC

I use since a couple of days  Sophos 8 for mac and there are some really strange virus

warnings in the quarantine manager:

Troj/Chepvil-A 

/System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.dfont 

Troj/Chepvil-B

/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/Info.plist

Troj/BredoZp-HU

/Applications/Sophos Anti-Virus.app/Contents/Info.plist

Mal/Wintrim-E

without any path

Are this wrong findings?

Kind Regards

  • I can safely say that the file paths are incorrect there; the detecions would never fire on the items indicated.  My best guess is that the item matching somehow got broken, so it's listing files either before or after the ones where the malware was actually detected. 

    The only place you should ever see Troj/BredoZp-HU, for example, is in your mail's downloaded attachments folder, or in a web cache folder (if you were viewing your email through a web browser).  Since Troj/BredoZp-HU will only ever detect a zip file (and a very specific style of zip file at that), something is definitely wrong here.
