I have to remove manually a threat, but am not able to reach the file in my backup

Hi Mariella Sormani 

Please see this blog post on the topic: https://community.sophos.com/products/sophos-home/b/blog/posts/manual-cleanup---how-to

Thank you,

Bob

I already tried to do that, but that didn't work. In Time Machine I cannot follow that path. 

Thank you. Can you please elaborate on what you mean by 'I cannot follow that path?'

It's difficult explain in English. But I will try. In my alerts there is a path to the place where my virus is in. It's a deleted mail with an zip in the appendix. When I go to time machine, that is what I read to delete a message that's in a backup, I am not able to click on my external disk where my backup is in. I already tried to delete the backup in finder of this date and also of another date, but the virus still isn't gone. Now it's not only in the backup of the 20th of June 2016, but also in the backup of 27th of June and the 13th of June. 

Hope you understand it better now.
