Tip to add hidden file paths to exclusion lists or custom scans

When attempting to add hidden file paths to Sophos Anti-Virus (or anywhere else), one useful trick is pressing command-shift-.  (apple-shift-period) in the Open dialog.  This will enable you to see ALL files and folders on your computer, even the hidden ones.  Anything with a "do not enter" badge on it can be selected, but the contents cannot be accessed, as you don't have the correct access privileges.

 

I hope this tip helps!
