By default, the Sophos "on access scanning" option is not set to scan within
archives and compressed files or network volumes. However, I had manually
checked the option to scan within archives and compressed files. This is what
triggered the problem.

I have since unchecked that option, and now the problem doesn't occur any more.

As far as false positives are concerned, many of the available anti-virus
products that actually catch most viruses, and some that don't, have
unfortunately produced false positives in the past.(In reply to comment #6)

I would however, still like the product to scan within any compressed files
that I might download from the net just in case they are infected. That was the
reason that I had check the option to begin with.
