Sophos stalls when I reaches a certain file (crushftp3.dmg). I have searched my MAC and no such file is found. How can I delete this file and get the scan to continue?

How have you searched for it? EasyFInd (App Store) will uncover any file, including hidden and those included in packages, which Spotlight may not.

I just used the MAC search function. Now I will go to the apps store and get easy find. Thanks for the hint. I will let you know.

Hi, again, Unfortunately my computer will not run Easy Find. Need OS 6.6 or later and I can only run OS 8.5. Sure wish I could use Easy Find. Are there any others programs that are compatible with and older MAC?

Are you saying the App Store wouldn't let you install it? EasyFind needs a minimum OS of 10.6. I'm running it in 10.7, and you've got 10.8.5, which, until a few weeks ago, was the most recent Mac OS. I've used EasyFind in 10.6 through 10.9 and it works. (OS 8.5 was a "Classic" OS, was meant for PowerPC processors and was current from October to December 1998 so I figure you mean OS 10.8.5, which is Mountain Lion.)

fingers got ahead of my brain. I am running OS 5.8

I know I have a dinosaur but I love it. Sorry for the confusion..I

From Terminal you can run the below to see if the file exists in your account’’’’s home folder:

find ~/ -name "crushftp3.dmg"

Or check all home folders with:

sudo find /Users/ -name "crushftp3.dmg"

Or the entire computer:

sudo find / -name "crushftp3.dmg"

How could you tell which file it was stuck on?  My scanning is also stuck but it doesn't say on what or where. It also says, up to the sticking point, "No threats founds, but when I click on the "Quarantine Manager" option it shows 3 thrats. ???

 The terminal found it. A big thank you!!

I have deleted it (I hope) and am running Sophos again.

When Sopos stalled the file name was right under the bar
