Manually cleaning up a threat detected by Sophos Anti-virus? I was viewing another answer on this website and one of the links lead me to a malicious website. I have Sophos Antivirus installed, and a warning immediately popped up telling me that a threat was detected:


  Threat: Mal/Badsrc-M
  Path and Filename: /Users/USER/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache/f_000e36
  Action Available: The threat cannot be cleaned up. Please click the threat name above for manual cleanup instructions.


On the website, there are no instructions as to how to cleanup the threat. Even though this seems to be only a Windows virus, I still want it removed on my Mac so that it can't infect any other computers. Is it as simple as manually deleting the file listed above, or is there anything else I need to be worried about?
Minus the fact that Sophos is just a giant waste of resources and space on your mac. The easiest way to clean it up would be to close chrome and go to that path in terminal and delete the file. 

Open terminal and type the following: 

rm -f /Users/USER/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache/f_000e36 


That should delete the file forcibly. 

Personal Note: 

Having to run antivirus on your mac to protect windows machines is like wearing a helmet at your desk cause the guy on the bike outside might get hit by a car....
