Detected Thread disappears

bawe

OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

Detected Thread Mal/RtfExe-A: Indicated by Sophos each 10 minutes on desktop, after clicking on "Quarantine Manager" it appears listed in. But by clicking for further measures the indication of the thread always disappears.

What's wrong here?

    Todays experience is not the first time I have seen this behavior - things disappearing from the Quarantine Manager - but today it is pretty clear that I carefully watched and the description that people are giving is correct.

    Yep that is consistent with other people's reports. The Quarantine Manager re-scans every time you take an action, and what is happening is that the re-scan operation thinks the file is clean, or the file is no longer present (the QM would believe the file had been deleted).

    Do you use a Time Machine backup drive? We have been investigating some interesting behavior with these backups when doing an on-demand scan.
