Scan stuck on dslocal-backup.xar. Yes I am only scanning my hard drive and no Time Machine.

TonyPolitano

Happened both on Yosemite and again last night on El Capitan.  Scanning Hard Drive Only (about 2.1M files).  Finds a file dslocal-backup.xar and hangs (8 hours + on both Yosemite and El Capitan).  File is not large 896K and in directory /private/var/db/.  If I exclude this directory, there is a bunch of stuff that I would miss.  Suggestions?

    We did add XAR scanning in 9.4, so it might be something new and unexpected. You can submit your copy of the file, if you are willing, here: secure2.sophos.com/.../sample-submission.aspx

    If you do submit, please describe the problem as related to scanning, and include the scan settings. I'm guessing this a Custom Scan, be sure to specify which options you turned on. Also note that this is from the Mac Home Edition product.
