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.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the prompt reply. Where can I find the detection log?

    After doing a manual scan, you can select View Scan Log (command-shift-L) from the Scan menu; if you want to view all the logs, the easiest way to do so is press command-spacebar, type in console, hit return, and navigate to FILES > ~/Library/Logs > Sophos Anti-Virus > Scans.  This will list a separate "folder" for each scan you've created, with a single log entry inside for each time it was run.
