Windows malware found in Mac OS X files

Hello,

Sophos for Mac has found several pieces of Windows malware on my system. This is typically not a huge surprise but what is torublesome this time is that the files shown to contain the malware are Mac specific files - things like PLIST files, etc.

Is this correct? If not, is this a false positive and just a hiccup with the Sophos AV system?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi smithy1988,

Its ok to post in existing threads as long as you stay "on topic".

This is very, very weird. What happens if you re-scan one of those files? Do you get the same results consistently?
