• \L \   A more detailed explanation of each of the cleanup options can be found on Sophos' website.
• If the cleanup button is not available, you may have to drag the file it points to into the trash to get rid of it. The Mac version of Sophos actually checks data on Windows, and these items cannot be removed from within Mac. If Sophos finds a virus in Windows, run a Sophos scan from within Windows to cleanup these viruses.
