Automatically Deleted Malware?

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.

  • Quicklook is the engine that lets you preview files in the Finder, Mail, and many other apps by pressing the space bar.  If you don't have the document open via Quicklook (which I presume you don't), then it is likely that the file is being indexed by the process to create a preview.
