Cleanup still in progress after 6 hours - ?

The on-demand scanner showed Mal/Phish-A threat, but with the filename showing as ... which I've not seen before. It said it could be cleaned up, but the cleanup is still going after 6 hours. Should I just stop it? What's with the odd filename?

  • Clear the quarantine manager (maybe throw in a quick reboot).  Force SAV to update (click the shield in the menu bar to access the option) and then go for another scan - once any update has completed.  That'll flush any problems.

    Exclude from the scan Time Machine (if you use it) and maybe even compressed files  to speed it up.  Examples:
