Number of files to interrogate

RCully

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

    Ruckus,

    Thanks again for the quick response.

    The picture I sent was from 'Grab' which looked OK in my version but obviously never made it to the published post.  I have instead added a couple of attachments - one showing the exlusions and the other the settings.

    - I do only have one scan - and because it would not originally finish its scan, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app.  So one definitely.

    - As for the 'great leap forward' - it stuck again so will have to do yet another uninstall and install (if I stop the scan and even if I quick Sophos, when I fire it up again, it still shows where it left off)

    Maybe the scan log I'm looking at (photo attached) is not the log you're refering to so I'd be obliged if you could confirm how to get to the log you mean.

    Cheers again
