Re: [sussex_mug] Scanning with Sophos

[Graham Street]

876,000 here on a 6-month-old MacBook Air. Don't forget that Sophos will probably check EVERY file on your computer, including all the programs and operating system files. My Mac Pro has around 1.3 million files on it.

Have you repaired permissions recently?

Is this normal? I use the machine only for word processing, storing about 200 photos and surfing the net. No music, no games. What's the standard file count for a new, unused Mac?
