SAV and TimeMachine

st181234

I installed the SAV for Mac today.

After installation, I made a local drive scan, and It found 4 threats.

I deleted the infected files.

After a while, I got alert from SAV that it denied access to the files, which had been deleted but still in my TimeMachine backup.

Although everything seems alright now, SAV interfered TimeMachine's operation.

Will this corrupt my TimeMachine backup?

    I've added my TM volume to the SAV exclusion list -- there's no need to take a chance, and based on the nature of the content, no need to be scanning the volume anyways.  Anything in there shouldn't be deleted by an outside program, and any malware therein will be caught should you try to restore it to a protected volume.

    Is there a way that SAV could check if a volume is used for TM, and if so, automatically add it to the exclusion list?
