I have been using Sabnzbd for about a month and the program is working fine. About a week ago Sophos picked up a virus in the cache folder and quarantined it. I have left it for a week or so and there hasn't been any noticeable affect. Am I OK to delete this file? How about the whole cache folder, is this like the temp folder for windows that needs to be manually cleaned every so often?
Thanks,
Jesse

Re: Sophos flagging cache file as Nutcracker virus
The file found is a cached article, which was part of a download.
It's safe to remove it.
The cache folder needs some periodic cleaning, due to leakage.
When the queue is empty, it's safe to remove all files starting with SABnzbd_article
The next major release will not have this problem any more.
