| DEF89762 | The Scan now with Sophos Anti-Virus item in the Finder contextual menu may sometimes not be displayed correctly. |
| Issues with copying infected files to a quarantine folder. If the immediate scanner moves or copies an infected file to a quarantine folder, the action is intercepted by the on-access scanner. This is because Spotlight indexes the quarantine folder when a file is quarantined there. To work around this, in the Spotlight preferences, put the quarantine folder into the list of excluded folders. |
