On your Mac there will be a number of encrypted files and the scanner is not able to access them because they are…encrypted. The ‘issues’ are caused by the scanner finding encrypted and/or corrupt files and simply not being able to access them. Spoiler: These issues are nothing to worry about. The questions now are: What are these issues detected? How do I fix them? Why does the scan report Issues detected and then also No threats found? Surely the only issues should be that the scan found threats right? …and before the scan completes you see a warning in the Scans window that says Issues detected… Supports all Apple Mac hardware including iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro and the new MacBook Air.Let me set the scene: You’re happily running a scan with Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac 9….Mac with OS X 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard) or 10.6 (Snow Leopard).SophosLabs ensures that Sophos Anti-Virus Home Edition can even proactively stop brand new unseen threats before they can install on your Mac.
