Guest User!
You are not Sophos Staff.
When I look in finder, it indicates that my iMac as circa 950,000 files.
When Sophos starts scanning, it shows that it has calculated circa 2,100,000 files.
I have excluded any external drives so can anyone please tell me why this scan number is so high?
By the way, I have Mavericks running and also the latest version of Sophos.
Cheers
You maybe able to tell from the video I'm running Mavericks too. SAV for Mac 9.0.3 is the first version that should run OK on Mavericks but official support comes with the release of 9.0.5 (hopefully around the end of November 2013). I can't say if 9.0.5 will solve everything but before its release Maverick users like ourselves are just it a little bit of limbo. :smileyhappy:
So if you have excluded the TM volume your scan log shows the exclusions and says this right?...
Scan name: "Scan Local Drives" Scan items: Exclusions: Path: "/Volumes/Time Machine/" Configuration: Scan inside archives and compressed files: Yes Automatically clean up threats: No Action on infected files: Report only Live Protection enabled: Yes
Does it show any other drives it's going to scan?
Another thing you can do (to speed up the scan) is to exclude compressed files (uncheck this option)...
And have you tried (if the scan log shows the TM volume is excluded) unmounting the TM drive altogether and testing that?
