encrypted or compressed file

chipHDMA

I have run several full scans on a machine that generated some PUA warnings, and the only items remaining that appear in the report are 117 encrypted or compressed items.  What does that mean?  Are they possible threats that can't be scanned by Sophos?  I have used Malwarebytes to see if that count can be lowered, but no luck.

This client is a fully-updated Win7 desktop, running Endpoint Control 10.3, also fully updated.

Thanks for any advice!

    Hello chipHDMA,

    there's a More >>> button which will give you a more detailed list of the events. Messages from the scan are written to the Anti-virus and HIPS log (accessible from the GUI) and, in case it's a named scan, the scan's distinct log - both in %ProgramData%\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\logs and named SAV.txt and scanname.txt respectively (note the latter is overwritten by the next execution).
