Troj/ByteVeri-N

After running a computer scan I had 16 "Troj/ByteVeri-N" threats which need to be cleaned up manually. I found info on Sophos that said to drag the file to do a custom scan. I can't figure out how to find the file to drag it. Can anyone help?

The dragging method does not appear to work. This is a known issue.
The file you want is the one listed in the quarantine manager; when you click on it, a location path should show up at the bottom of the window.
Troj/ByteVeri-N detects malicious Java .jar files, and the attack mainly carries Windows malware. It is likely detected in either your browser web cache (in which case, the files might already be deleted), or in an email message. It is possible that you have copies of it in your Time Machine backups as well.
