The extract mentions Access to the file denied in a few places, but no mention of clean up or deletion/removal.  

For viewing logs, the current version of SAV lacks a view menu. There are three different GUIs for the different classes of log. 

Logs exist at the following paths: 

/Library/Logs/

• maybe just one file, Sophos Anti-Virus.log

~/Library/Logs/Sophos Anti-Virus/Scans

• multiple folders, each one of which may contain multiple logs. 

Try to find a log that corresponds with the time of the problem.

_____________________________________________________________

I have a total of 2 log files:

/library/logs/Sophos Anti-virus.log  (that the previous sample was from) reproduced in its entirety http://pastebin.ca/1994650

and 

~/library/logs/Sophos Anti-virus/Scans/Scan This Mac/2010-11-02 18/20/39 +0000.log corresponding to the single full system scan I have done. http://pastebin.ca/1994655

I can see the scan, the files it found that were infected , and some corrupt files. There seems to be no log or entry for the removal of the items that I can see. The generic keygen it found was removed via the quarantine manager in the app
