clean up failed,

Scanned my Mac which took about 22 hours. Dialog box says one threat found and issues detected.

Opened Quarantine Manager which displayed the threat and a file name with the option to clean up. Clean up failed. Now only options are to Reveal In Finder which shows a long list of code or Clear From List. If I clear from list, does that take the threat away?

Issues detected - what do I do about those?

Thank you.

    Re-reading this I'd recommend excluding the Time Machine folder.

    That should shorten the scan time.

    You can do the same for a custom scan (if that's the type you run).  Plus another top tip is to uncheck the option to scan inside archives and compressed files.

    Example:

    Try those two things and see how long the scan takes then.
