Threat Showed Up in Quarantine Manager, but Disappeared Before I Did Anything

Paradox11
I was browsing some websites when an alert from Sophos appeared saying that a threat had been detected. I opened the Quarantine Manager to clean up the threat, and I saw the listing for the threat in the QM, but then it disappeared from the list before I could do anything about it. All I caught about it was that the threat was listed as Virus/Spyware. I then ran a complete scan of all local drives (and cleared my browser's cache) and it came back saying no threats had been detected. Is it possible that the threat is still on my computer but found some way to hide itself? Or am I just being too paranoid?

    In this case, you're being too paranoid. :smileywink:  I've described the issue in detail in another thread on here.  The short of it is that the malware was detected in your browser cache, and when it was cleared, the threat went away (and therefore vanished from quarantine).
