I have just installed Sophos : A virus was detected !!!!

JojoFrench

Hello !

I've just heard about Sophos AntiVirus a few hours ago.

So I decided to install it. It runs very smoothly.

I've ran a full scan right now, and Sophos has detected a virus !!! I'm very surprised about that !!

The name of the threat is : Mal/JavaHoxo-A in the file : /Users/Jojo/Library/Caches/Java/cache/6.0/41/ff74ae9-7d783ce1 [EIRC.class]

Mac... Viruses... What ? :smileysurprised:

    I am on a MacBook and have just downloaded Sophos because I started getting random new windows popping you while I'm working on the computer, showing male-on-male porn and quite heavy S&M sites. This just started this morning, suddenly.

    I downloaded Sophos and the 9 problems Sophos has detected all need to cleaned up manually. I have followed links to the Help page and followed instructions, as I understood them, to copy and paste the Filenames into the from the Quarantine Manager window into the window that allows me to create a 'custom scan'. The final instructions you provide are to change the Options dropdown to "Delete threat", then click Done and then "Run scan". Done the first two. But how do I run the Custom scan? Only thing I could see that might do that was to click the arrow icon in the"Scan local drives" box at the top. And all that did was again scan the local drives. The arrow icons next to each of the custom-scan items are not clickable. What am I doing wrong, please? Thanks
