    First off: Nice software... It found a Windows virus in a Zip file on my Bootcamp partition that Microsoft AV ignored.

    My only concern is how Sophos truncates the location of the file when malware is found.  Sophos needs to fix this in future versions!  I need to see the the complete path, or simply a way to open the enclosing folder to remove the file.  If the file is buried deep in the system, as this file was, there is no way to find it if Sophos cannot quarantine it, save for running a very long scan or doing the work-arounds listed here.

    Good:  Excellent malware detection

    Fail:  Removing the malware.  Not Mac-like in simplicity.
