Removal of Threat found on my iMac

Songbird2

Hi, after running my first SOPHOS scan a threat called Mal/Behav-285 has appeared in Quarantine Manager.  My own research suggests that this malware only affects the Windows OS and so I am confused as to why/how it has appeared on my iMac?  Other info in Quarantine Manager says Filename  "$R75IUL9.rar"  and "Cleanup failed".  Is there any need for me to be concerned and if so does anyone know how I should go about removing this threat?

    the video doesn't make clear what files we should be on the lookout for. 

    Could be a lot of things.  The video mentions (1) a file in Trash that isn't formatted correctly; (2) a USB pen drive that was unplugged during the scan; (3) encrypted files; (4) corrupt files.

    That gives you four things to be on the look out for.  If you find more, and they are common, pls post.
