Threat detected but doesn't show in Quarantine Manager

eepsers

Hi, SAV detected Troj Agent ANUC and displayed a message stating this.  When I opened Quarantine Manager, however, there was no threat listed for me to clean up.  (I have cleaned up other threats in the past, so I know in a general way how to do this.)  I am afraid whatever this trojan is, it may be stopping the SAV from working properly to clean it.  However, it looks like Troj Agent ANUC is a Windows virus, so I don't know how it could mess up my Mac SAV.  My system info and version of SAV are pictured in the attachments, but basically Yosemite OS X 10.10.3, SAV 9.2.7.  Any help appreciated greatly.

    Hi, I have a similar problem with another Windows virus Mal/DrodZp-A.

    I use Sophos Anti -Virus home edition software version 9.4.2 on a current model retina iMac running El Capitain.
    Today while downloading a Kindle ebook from Amazon I got a Sophos threat detection message regarding a Mal/DrodZp-A malware threat. I opened the quarantine manager and briefly saw the threat there. Seconds later it vanished leaving the Quarantine manager empty with a green tick and “No items are quarantined” displayed. This process recurred about 5 minutes later and then again hours later after a re-boot. The only evidence remaining of the attack is in the log which reads; 
    com.sophos.intercheck: 2016-03-15 09:01:42 +1000 Threat: 'Mal/DrodZp-A' detected in 
    com.sophos.intercheck:                              Access to the file denied

    and the second incident 5 minutes later reads the same (and then another).
    I am a bit confused and insecure about this. Has Sophos successfully dealt with and removed the threat (three times?)? Or has the malware evaded Sophos in some way and need to be removed? How come I can’t see it’s location in the log?
    I understand that this threat targets Window OS but I don’t want my mac to be a carrier of a threat to others.
    I would be very grateful for any advice/reassurance re this Sophos detected threat alert,
    Thanks, Pete (Brisbane, Australia)
