Maybe this setting was lost at some point.
It seems strange to me that Sophos did not exclude its own virus vault. Finally, I went into Time Machine and excluded the same folder-no point in backing up virus files, especially if there are over a million of them. For good measure, I excluded the external Time Machine volume as well. 10:47:56-06 hulk Sophos Bootstrap5051: SMESophosBootstrapAppDelegate.m:1656 System verified 10:48:36-06 hulk Sophos Installer5087: SMEInstallController.m:237 Installing saas version 9.6.5 10:48:36-06 hulk Sophos Installer5087: SMEInstallController. I also went into Sophos and added exclusions on /Users/Shared/Infected to the scheduled scan and the On-Access Preferences. I killed Finder, opened a Terminal window, and deleted them from the command line

The remote management is the best part because users can create free accounts and access them through the online dashboard from a PC or Mac anywhere in the world. Deleting the files from Finder was taking too long. Sophos For Mac 2017 Sophoss technology uses a utility that can scan ZIP archives. The Info box reported 1.7 million (!) files consuming 27GB of disk space. From a Terminal window, I located /Users/Shared/Infected in Finder. It looks like it was copying files there, then re-detecting them, then copying them again, almost ad infinitum (though the log indicates that it did not move threats already in the destination). You can actually see the same file name over and over, with numbers at the end to make the names unique. Plus the log indicated repetitive detections in /Users/Shared/Infected, which is where it copies infected files to. It had scanned 14 million files and detected over 62,000 errors. (The machine runs Sophos Home Edition version 9.6.1.) Checking Sophos about 11:15am, I saw that the 6:05am scan was still running. Using Activity Monitor, I discovered that Sophos was by far the biggest disk hog. Once replaced and restored (slowly) from TimeMachine, the system seemed very slow. By the time I got my hands on it, the SSD had died. A late-2012 Mac Mini had been behaving oddly for a while, with disk space on the 250GB SSD often nearing capacity.
