Hello all,
I was backing up my mac onto my external hard drive via time machine when I received a quarantine manager notice that I had JS/Agent-AZOD malware on my mac which needs to be removed manually, and the 'cleanup' icon is greyed out. I note the file path is /Volumes/Macintosh HD 1/Backups.backupdb/Edwin's Macbook Pro/2018-08-23...rome/Default/Extensions/.
I have Sophos Home Edition 9.6.8, Threat detection engine: 3.73.0 Threat data: 5.54
I also note that this link (https://support.home.sophos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000555626-Manual-malware-cleanup-on-a-Mac-computer) states that in order to delete the malware I will have to go into the time machine archive. I cannot find the above path in my finder window, which leads me to believe that the malware is on my external hard drive (on which my time machine data is stored). I ran a full system scan and it did not return anything, which reinforces my prior conclusion.
I would like to get rid of this malware, however I am reluctant to put the hard drive back into my computer now that I think that the malware is on it.
I would be grateful for any suggestions as to what I could do to resolve this.
Kind Regards,
Ed
