4 Virus that must be manually deleted

I downloaded Sophos for Mac this afternoon and let it scan my computer.  I have 4 alerts or Virus that must be removed manually.  I have tried to figure it out on the website, but I have not got very far.  There is not a quarantine option when I click on the "S" at the top of my screen.

3 of the files have a .zip and 1 has a .class

 

  • Manual cleanup required: 'Mal/ByteVer-A' at '/Users/alanholty/.jpi_cache/jar/1.0/count.jar-13dd95a5-37ecfae0.zip'

I have no idea what any of this means, or how to delete the files.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

  • Dear Alan Holty,

     

    Seems like its pointing to your user profile below. Also ensure to Enable "HIDDEN ITEMS / FILES & FOLDERS" in File Explorer When you are looking for Files

  • How do you enable hidden folder?

  • Alex 

    In Windows Explorer Turn On Option To Show Hidden Files & Folders

    Or 

     Copy the Directory Path in RUN and Open It. 

  • I am running on Mac. While I have you, do you know how to access "/Volume/.." Files? Very desperate..

    "Finder->Go to Folder" is useless and there are no ways to custom scan on my Mac for Sophos free. I have read every forum possible along with all instructions posted by sophos (which are painfully old and not valid in 2017)

  • Oops... Not Much Familiar With Mac.

    Any Mac Experts Here??

    Alan,

    These are in some kind of Java cache in the account of user: alanholty  You need to clear the Java cache in that account.  You could also uninstall Java and rescan.  You should not install Java on a Mac unless you absolutely need it.
