Hi everybody, could someone help me with this, please? I have not idea how to interpret it.

I run Sophos antivirus in Linux Mint and there is no viruses but an error was found. I suspect that it has to do with the previous line displaying "Could not open .mozilla/firefox/4km92cyp.default/lock".

Does anybody know what that 4km92cyp.default/lock refer to?

Thank you for your help.

This file exists, when the firefox instance is running. I think that you have to close Firefox before making the AV check.
