Impossible to delete Mal/Pish-A

Hi everybody,

My sophos antivirus has detected the virus Mail/Pish-A. After start cleaning the virus disappears well, but it come back few minutes after. I repeat this operation several time without success.

Could you help me to remove once and for all.

I join a screen shot in attachment.

Thank in advance for your help.

Pawel

The detection has been posted before. It's most likely because of an IMAP connection to your webmail provider: Your email is downloaded to your computer, SAV scans and finds an item, you clean up the threat and because it is still on the server it's downloaded again.

See: http://openforum.sophos.com/t5/Sophos-Anti-Virus-for-Mac-Home/Mal-Phish-A-threat-from-mail-keeps-coming-back/m-p/15243

Log into your webmail using a browser, locate the mail and delete from there. If you don't get the right email or your email address receives another copy the detection and experience can happen again.
