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?

    Regarding TimeMachine - I don't have an infected machine, but I just recently (yesterday) moved from one iMac to another, using TimeMachine + System Setup to do a restore of my old iMac to my new iMac (virtually identical machines - I was shipped the wrong model; 2-core vs. 4-core; 4gb vs. 16gb). On restore, Sophos is installed, but cannot update, scan or even run in the background. It required an uninstall/reinstall on my target (new) machine. Just an FYI.
