Automatically Deleted Malware?

arricalee

Recently, Sophos detected a few Mal-A Phishing(I can't remember the exact name) viruses. I unlocked by entering my account's password to get rid of the viruses. Right after I have entered my password, the entry disappeared. I could no longer trace and delete it manually. So, I was wondering...is it possible that Sophos automatically deleted the phishing virus after I authenticated as the administrator?

Thank you so much for your help and guidance.

    The detection would have been on an email message... if you deleted the spam message, the detection would go away.  If you check the detection logs and it points to your mail folder to a file that no longer exists, that's your answer :)
