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.

    thank you so much. I did as you said but the path came out to be quicklook and I am not even sure what quicklook is.

    quicklook 1621 arricalee  cwd      DIR       14,2       204     24965

    Is it dangerous if I just leave it there or do I need to get rid of it. But how? Since it is hidden and only appear sometimes, I can't find it.

    I appreciate your help and guidance.
