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

    Just when I thought I was going to tell you that after following your instructions and actually carrying out the correct procedure (many apologies for that), it looks like I still have the same problem.

    Please see the latest attachments below.

    Totally bamboozled now....... unless I've made another mistake.....

    As an aside, the scan stopped working again - it froze - and even though I Force Quit the app, when I fired it up again, it started where it had left off - frozen.  Again, the only way to get out of it was to uninstall and install again.  However, if I stop scanning in a 'controlled way', then it stops without problem.

    Cheers
