    Hey Dubb,

    The "Issues detected" message is usually safe to ignore. Generally this means the scanner came across compressed, corrupt or encrypted files. The video below will give you an in depth explanation of what this means and how to view the files that were detected.

    It's much simpler than that, AV makers go nuts with visual reinforcements, with Sophos, if the S icon in the top bar is greyed it's not protecting, if it's black it's protecting.

    From the screen you reference, if you expand "Custom scans", at the bottom there is a settings icon (looks like a cog). From there you can click on "View Scan Log". That will take you to the log file of the scan which should reveal more information about the scan.
    Regards,

    Hi Anne,

    Unfortunately the videos are temporarily unavailable, but should be back online shortly.

    In the mean time, I'll just let you know that you can generally ignore the "issues detected" message. What it indicates is that SAV encountered a file that it could not scan - generally this is due to corruption or the file being encrypted.

    If you  follow the instructions on jak's post above, you can see exactly which files were skipped. If it's just a couple, it's probably nothing to worry about.
