False Positives?

illwill

I recently installed Sophos about two weeks ago.  Today I get bunch of alerts about Troj/TdlMbr-D.  Mainly in my email messages that I know are from reputable sources.  Are these false positives and can anyone shed some light on this issue?  I'm running a MBP with Mountain Lion.

    We've had a couple of reports of this on the forums; if you clear the quarantine and reboot your computer, are the files still detected?

    There is no way Troj/TdlMbr-D could detect in most of those locations -- it's a Windows Master Boot Record infector.  Likely Troj/TdlMbr-D was detected somewhere on your system, but those files are not the actual location.
