The identity of the item, including a link to its analysis on the Sophos website.

If the item is associated with a rootkit, it is displayed as Hidden.

If a more link is displayed next to the filename, this means that the item is infected with a multi-component infection. Click the link to see the list of other components that are part of the infection. If some components are associated with a rootkit, the dialog box indicates that they are hidden.
