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?

    Just a follow up:

    I got my Time Capsule Time Machine backup up and running again, after erasing the disk via the Airport Utility. Took me a while to backup all over again...

    Sophos AV corrupted the Time Machine backup when I told the Quarantine Manager to clean the viruses on the Time Machine backup - this was DURING a Time Machine backup process; Sophos was popping up with virus alerts while backing up, so I decided to try to clean the Time Machine backup. (Sophos tried to clean off /Volumes/Data/My MacBook Pro.sparsebundle).
